Horror Lit - Books Reviews, News and Discussions

Rereading "The Haunter of the Dark" by H. P. Lovecraft today. And soon I hope, the rest of his Cthulhu stories.

I’m near the end of The Ruins by Scott Smith. I am not enjoying it although it is enthralling and dreadful. I feel bad for everyone and they do such foolish things. The “villain” is terrible and relentless. I can’t not finish but it is NOT a fun read. Just misery.

Joe Hill’s Full Throttle. It’s a book of short stories and I find they’re just the right length.

Really enjoying it and some of the stories are pretty compelling.

I'm enjoying "Dead Meat" series by Nick Clausen, currently on day 5.

It's "Night of the Living Dead"esque, takes place at the beginning of the outbreak and the action is in Denmark. It's quite different than traditional stuff from US, since there's no crazy gun ownership in Europe - lots of close, in-your-face struggles, usually ending in bites.

I’ve been on a Stephen Graham Jones kick. I read “Only Good Indians” last month and am finishing up “Mongrels” right now. OGI is great I def recommend it

I just finished Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I found it to be a more unique story, pulling from a wider variety of influences for the sources of the scares, than his previous novel Hex even if it ended up being a bit more uneven as result. I still think when it works it really works, but there were certainly portions of the book where it lost steam for me as well. Definitely looking forward to seeing how his next book Oracle turns out!

Next, I'm planning to start The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas for some classic gothic haunted house vibes hopefully!

Almost done with Adam Nevill's No One Gets Out Alive. Does it go without saying that the book is better than the movie? Movie is hardly anything like the book anyway. Recommended for those into supernatural stuff.

I just finished reading Little Eve by Catriona Ward. This book has some real creepy vibes, and I'll never look at honey the same way! I really liked it, and it was my first book by Catriona Ward. I'm definitely a fan!

I just started Grand Hotel by Scott Kenemore. It has a pretty bad rating on Goodreads but I'm enjoying it so far, it's giving AHS Hotel plus a little Chaucer with all the weird individual stories.
