I have a goal of reading horror from as many countries as possible. I'd love some recommendations from countries that are new to me.

So far, these are the countries I have already covered:
Australia, Canada, Iceland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the UK, the US

The Hole by Hye-young Pyun (South Korea) I haven't read it myself so I can't comment on it, but a friend recommended it to me.

I've read "The Hole" and would recommend it.

Nigerian author Nuzo Onoh has several great books and collections. The Sleepless is great.

Japanese author Mariko Koike for The Graveyard Apartment.

Japan - Audition by Ryū Murakami
China - Valley of Terror by Zhou Haohui
Argentina - Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin
Dominican Republic - Tentacle by Rita Indiana
Angola - The Kishi by Antoine Bandele
Philippines - Dwellers by Eliza Victoria

Some excellent recommendations you've listed there Netanella.

Wow! These sound great!! I need to add some of these to my own lists.

Thanks, ladies! I try pretty hard to make my horror reading diverse.

I recommend a few more:

Iraq - Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi
Haiti - Hadriana in All My Dreams by René Depestre
Argentina - Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica (this one is pretty popular, so you may have already read it.)

If you enjoy short stories (I do)


The Valancourt Book of World Horror Stories, Volume 1
