Welcome Nihal

Welcome Aaron

Welcome Genya, Nihal and Aaron

Welcome to the group Aaron!

Hi Aaron.

Hey hey everyone! Just discovered ŷ������ thanks to a post on a facebook page and can't believe what I've been missing! I'm a massive book worm and although I have only just signed up and have a staggering friends list of 1 I am in love with this site already and am having fun exploring. Starting by joining some interesting groups. I'm sure I'll enjoy interacting with other book lovers and hope I find my next fave book here... I am a massive horror fan and I love zombies (Walking Dead obsessed) and apocalypse books (fave one is The Stand by Stephen King). I love anything that gets my heart racing and my skin crawling. By the way, feel free to friend me because I could do with more than one friend :-)

Thanks Aaron! Nice to meet you. That makes 2 friends :-)

Hi everyone, greetings from an another bibliophile who is obsessed with books particularly crime, horror and thrillers ... have already been reading some of these threads and found lots of new ones to read already ... hope to get many more recommendations!

Hi Mel and Helen! Welcome!

Welcome Helen.

Hi! I am an avid horror reader/writer and my favourite author ever is Stephen King :) I do like to read other genres too though but horror is my favourite - I like to be scared!

Hello Mel, Helen and Bekki.

I'm well, thanks Aaron. I'm keeping busy and (mostly) out of trouble.

Welcome, everyone!

Welcome, Mel, Helen and Bekki!

Hi, everybody. My name is Cori and this is my first post ever. I've been a goodreads member for oh...about 30 mins. I've been a reader all my life though. We actually read aloud together as a family, when I was a kid, passing the book back and forth on road trips. We read one of my favorite books, The Talisman, this way.

Hello all,my first time posting on here. My names R.J. McCabe, well Richard to those who know me. I have just finished my first novel Undead at Sundown, and have it on Amazon, it's doing okay so far!. I'm reading all of the Ramsey Campbell short stories at the moment and I'm about to start listening to Ania Ahlborn's The BirdEater any day now after loving Seed. Good to meet you all :)

Welcome, Cori and R.J.!

Hi Helen. And thanks to everyone for your welcoming messages :-)

The Seven Days of Peter Crumb is the last book that I found quite disturbing. Not for everyone but a unique read I found.

Does anyone have any good Horror short story collections to recommend?

Hi, my name is Murky (well it's what everyone has called me since school - even at work now!) which is appropriate for this group.

is one of my all time favourite books as well as horror classics especially H.P. Lovecraft.

I joined this group on the recommendation of a new goodreads friend. I am looking forward to meeting you all and getting some recommendations and participating.

That is the best image ever. I want it framed and on my desk.

Ha - Hi Jen!

Welcome to all the newbies! I think you will like it here!

Hello, I am Ekel Adolf from Germany. My "development of literary taste" includes three phases: I discovered Horror literature at the age of 12, starting with the works of Stephen King. With the exception of his "Dark Tower" series, which strangely never interested me, I've read all of his books up to "From a Buick 8". After that, my interest in King dropped, albeit I'm planning to read his non-fiction work "Danse Macabre" next, after years of abstinence.

After King came Lovecraft, and to this day I adore the master from New England and stayed a fan ever since, albeit the urge to read his pieces ocurred in roughly bi- or triannual intervals. The third an current phase started around last year's spring, when I stumbled upon a Lovecraft pastiche called "The Innswich Horror", by a fellow called Edward Lee. Albeit rather one of his harmless works, it was my entry into the more gory and modern regions of Horror. I discovered Bizarro fiction that way, too.

Even older than my interest in Horror fiction is my fascination for cryptozoology, ufology and other forteana, which dates back to my delementary school day. I think this interest might be somehow related. Despite ufology and cryptozoology dealing with professed real alien entities and monsters, the subject is sometimes really creepy, too.

Nice to meet you Ekel! We have a lot of the same interests! I started in Horror with King and Lovecraft too... a friend gave me all her hardcovers of the Dark Tower books and I've still yet to start them a year later and haven't kept up with his later books much.

Welcome, Ekel!

Hi All,

My name is Gino Sorcinelli. I've spent the last four years of my life working as a special education teacher. In my free time I work on my website , where I interview people about books that change their lives, inspire them, and/or make them think differently. Off the top of my head I'd have to say my two favorite horror novels are Salem's Lot by Stephen King and The Auctioneer by Joan Samson. I recently read Corrosion by Jon Bassoff and loved it. Right now I am reading Strange Seed by T.M. Wright. I am a frequent visitor of Will Errickson's excellent . I look forward to learning more about horror fiction from connecting with all of you!

Hello Gino - those sites you mentioned are great sources, thanks for sharing them.

No problem Elisabeth, so glad you found them useful. Will's site is amazing. I have yet to find another site that rivals it in terms of volume and quality. I will be hard at work this summer interviewing lots of interesting people and I will keep the group posted when horror-related interviews go up. In fact, I interviewed Will recently if folks would like me to post the link.

Go ahead and share the link :)

Would love know what everyone thinks of the interview!

The four coming of age horror novels that I've read and re-read and have always found to be lights out are Boy's Life by Robert McCammon, It by Stephen King, Summer of Night by Dan Simmons, and The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale.

Agreed, I enjoyed Boy's life quite a bit. I found the ending to be somewhat of a letdown, though.
