2019 is almost here! I’m hoping to read more Horror novels. Reccomendations?
The Troop by Nick Cutter
@Sam amazing
OOOOO and Misery by Stephen King
@Sam Read that one this year! Definitely recommend to others as well who are looking to feel mortified. lol.
??
Im not sure if you’ve read any Joe Hill yet, but im a big horror geek and i recently got into him. Ive read NOS4ATU (which was decent) and Heart Shaped Box (which i loved). All of his books get great reviews.
@Jillian I haven’t read any Joe Hill yet but definitely want to. I think the only reason I haven’t is because I’ve struggled on which book of his to read first. The two you mentioned are definitely the ones that come up the most though so I will probably start with one of those. Thank you!
Everyone else loved NOS4A2, so don’t let my comment dissuade you, i just didn’t really like the main character so it fell a little flat. I want to read the fireman next! Its so hard to find real horror, and not just suspense lol good luck!
I’ve read both of these. Heart Shaped Box was amazing and NOS4R2 was good.
@Jillian Agreed! Books will say they’re horror but then you’re like umm pretty sure that was suspense. Not horror. Which I still enjoy but it is disappointing when you were expecting something a little more horrific.
@Rebecca Okay yeah I will definitely start with those two. Thank you!
NOS4R2 is coming out as a movie with Zachary Quinto ( Spock from Star Trek) Supposed to be terrifying.
Cool! I didnt know that!
I just read it this week. You can probably google it for the release date.
Its a whole series! That means they’ll at least have time to do ti justice.
I didn’t realize it was a series. The article was about how good Quinto is in it. Yea!!!
JZ Foster is amazing
Joe Hill
Classic Stephen King is good. Charles L. Grant. Peter Straub. Dean Koontz. All have books I enjoy.
@John I have shelves and shelves of both Stephen King and Dean Koontz. They’re two of my favorite authors. So will definitely continue grabbing books from my shelves as I’m feeling it. Peter Straub is one I’ve wanted to read. What book would you recommend I read?
@Shelby Get a copy of Ghost Story. It’s a good introduction to Straub.
@John Awesome thank you!
I also have a horror novel you can check out if you’re interested. It’s called Pandora Reborn. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DVRVG31
NOS4A2 by Joe Hill was very good. The Troop was just meh in my opinion. Hex and Penpal were excellent!
The Ruins by Scott Smith
My go to’s of horror are Stephen king, Anne rice, and Clive barker typically.
“IT” by Stephen King
The Dowling House by @A
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077CXFQSB/
Thank you!!
Look on Amazon, under Horror.
Dean Koontz
Couples Therapy by @Faith
Starblood by @Carmilla
The Ghoul Archipelago by @Stephen
Crossroads In The Dark 1-4 from @Burning
Surviving Earth Series by Cora A. Murray.
The Survivor Chronicles by Erica Stevens
If you get desperate, I could send you editor notes and revisions, Those always frighten me…
R. Patrick Gates. Michael Laimo.
Christine by Stephen King
J.D. Barker has a few out. The Fourth Monkey, Fifth to Die, Dracul.
Do you want Sharp Objects. I’m done with it. Just pay shipping.
The Girl From The Well by Rin Chupeco
Any book by Richard Laymon
Anything from Jack Ketchum (The Girl Next Door is super disturbing and Joyride is really gory – lots of murder lol).
Naomi’s Room by Jonathan Aycliffe scared the bejeezus out of me and I do NOT scare easily with books.
Jasper Black is an indie author and a friend of mine.
His Demon Gentleman series is hilarious with sass and gore/horror.
He is also working on a side project. I highly recommend. The first book is called Swallow You Whole.
