Horror Aficionados discussion

Hello fellow horror lovers, it's time to start nominating books for our February 2021 Group Read.

The theme this month is SOLITUDE!

Stories with characters being lost, isolated, cut off from majority of the world and dealing with the effects of their situation. Even better if they are being chased by some malignant force!



Books read within the last 3-4 years are not eligible, for a complete list of previous reads please see below link.

Link to our bookshelves. If your book choice is marked as read and the date is within the last 4 years, it's not eligible:
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Authors/publishers, please do not promote your own work for group reads, we have author promotion threads for that purpose.

Nominate as many books as you'd like. Books with the most nominations, seconds, thirds, etc., have a better chance of making it to the final poll.

So let's brainstorm some great stories to read together in February :)

* Nominations will be up till 1/20/21.

I love that picture, Kasia! 😊💕

Gerald’s Game by Stephen King 😀

Night Train sounds scary as heck, love it! On Amazon it said that it was frequently bought together along with "The Hollow Places: A Novel by T. Kingfisher" ..now I need this in my life.

Amazon has it if you shop there :)

No, I mean it’s not on kindle unlimited or my library. I can’t afford to buy all books. I try not to do that any more unless I’ve read them with the exception of my book subscriptions

Voices in the snow by Darcy Coates or The Cold by Rich Hawkins.

The Mirror, by Hash Black

Maybe a classic?
I Am Legend

+ 1 for Voices In The Snow and The Mirror

+1 for Maynard's House

Great nominations above. Dark Matter by M.Paver sounds good...

Cloven by Kady Monroe

Creepy novella set on a remote Scottish Island...

+ 1 for Voices in the Snow

I nominate Dead Lake by Darcy Coates

Short and sweet, probably my favourite by Coates:)

+1. This sounds good!

Oh man, Night Train sounds fun. Sad to see so many negative reviews. Anyone read it? Did you like it? Are people being too harsh?

I've got The Regulators by Richard Bachman pencilled in for a buddy read in February, anyone else who wants to join in is welcome! :)

I nominate The Shining by Stephen King.

I nominate The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe.



The Mysteries of Udolpho is the story of orphan Emily St. Aubert, who finds herself separated from the man she loves and confined within the medieval castle of her aunt's new husband, Montoni. Inside the castle, she must cope with an unwanted suitor, Montoni's threats, and the wild imaginings and terrors that threaten to overwhelm her

+1 for Strangers , and +1 Maynard's House

I saw the movie for Cold Skin and it was deeply messed up. I didn't even realize it was a book.

+1 for Cold skin

Ugh, that book actually traps and crams people into close proximity with each with no escape! My worst nightmare - ahhhh!
