For scary and gross out my fave still remains "The Wasp Factory" by Iain Banks

Started rereading Catch-22.

Halfway through BEETHOVEN: THE UNIVERSAL COMPOSER by Edmund Morris. Superb so far.

Haunted is a novel made up of twenty-three horrifying, hilarious, and stomach-churning stories. They’re told by people who have answered an ad for a writer’s retreat and unwittingly joined a “Survivor”-like scenario where the host withholds heat, power, and food. As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight. This is one of the most disturbing and outrageous books you’ll ever read, one that could only come from the mind of Chuck Palahniuk.

so far this is a great book, highly recommend.

Just started Del Toro's THE STRAIN. It was a Christmas gift, and I'm just now starting to catch up on my reading. Looking forward to it. I've heard plenty of good things.

right now i am reading "The Dream and the Underworld" by James Hillman. a little non-fiction horror, if you will. next, i hope to get into King's 'Full Dark, No Stars' after watching 'Bag of Bones', i kinda miss King ~

'The Strain' i found kinda tedious, so I do hope you like it Matthew T. sounds odd coming from a King fan, but this trend of massive 1000 page fiction hopefully comes to an end soon.

The Revenge Of The Hound: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery
by
Micheal Hardwick

Neuromancer, by William Gibson

Count Zero, by William Gibson

The Passage - Justin Cronin

finally finished this 766 page book,doesnt sound like much but there massive pages.
any way i definatly didnt think the book had to be that long.Great story line about a man made virus that creates vampires out of people which was supposed to make invincible soldiers for the army.
kinda like dawn of the dead except vampires.the last of the human beings trying to survive.
this guy has a great way of making you think you know whats goin to happen then totaly change things.
But man big sections were unnecessarily dragged out with too much info you diddnt need to know.at times i was ready to just put the book down and start something else,but iv got this thing were i always have to finish.saying that though im glad i finished.the up in the air ending wasnt to dissapointing because i new there was a sequal "the 12"
ill give it a 6/10

I happen to think that Full Dark, No Stars is some of the finest work from King that we've had in years. Let me know what you think of it, particularly 1922 and A Good Marriage, those were my two favorites.

Darwinism by Fuson
 

I'm about halfway through "Darwinism" by Mark Fuson. It's been a long time since I've read a werewolf story that I couldn't put down! (So far) I'm glad I took a chance on it - the guy is a new author.

Sounds like a good one. I'll keep an eye open for it. Here's one you might enjoy. I sure did.

love that cover,never heard of the author

Neil Gaiman - Smokes and mirrors

short stories from neil gaiman

kind of children storys with a real dark feel to them so far,remind me of clive barkers Mr B Gone if anyones read that.Hes a good writer but the storys have been very average.
im not even half way through yet though so wont write it off as a shitta just yet

Thanks for the recommendation!
 

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out!

Loved Full Dark, No Stars. Really serious and depressing

Still trying to slog my way through "World War Z". I don't know why I'm having such a difficult time with it. Every time I start to read it, I fall asleep.

books reading
 

patient zeo

johnathan maberry

this book was all in all shit!.i take back what i say about childrens storys there was alot of erotic sex , baby eating,std's and things in the rest of the storys.
this guy would be an amazing writer,id love to read a full novel buy him.but these storys would just start to get interesting and then finish for no real reason.its like he was constantly trying to get you to wounder what the twist was,but i scarcley cared i just wanted a decent ending were something decent happend

Neil Gaiman - smokes and mirrors.....gay man, bahahah

Stephen King's "The Storm of the Century".

I have never read that one. How good is it?

hows that goin??,im halfway through cujo at the mo,seems pretty average so far for King.

Just finished BEETHOVEN, THE UNIVERSAL COMPOSER by Edmond Morris. Superb.

Really getting into Under The Dome. Almost done. I also started reading Orgy of The Blood Parasites by Jack Yeovil

Just started Rick Hautala's Moonwalker, I'm about 100 pages in and so far very creepy and satisfying.

Horns by Joe Hill
Very good character development but story in this one kinda lacks. Enjoyable though

iv got heart shaped box from joe hill to read next and i cant wait ,this cujo book is driving me insane.reminds me of geralds game, chained up and the storys her just lying there thinking stuff basically the whole book,except shes trapped in a car boooring,i cant beleive they made this crap into a movie,it must have a hell of a good ending

The Big Cat Nap by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown

Just read a great book.
 

I just finished reading Graveyard Blues by Reina Salt on Amazon Kindle. What a brutally awesome book! Visceral, unrelenting and totally captivating. Amazing read from a debut author. I fell in love with the characters. So well written and totally believable. I don't mean to gush, but I cannot recommend it enough.

ah finaly a bit of a reveiw type post

I hated Gerald's Game-the worst book I've read by King, never read Cujo but the movie wasn't as dreadful as I expected. But not great either.

I'm honestly kind of surprised you didn't like Gerald's Game, or at least the last half of it. The first half I can somewhat understand but from the point that she first sees the "space cowboy" and on, it continued to draw me in. I loved it, sorry you weren't able to enjoy it.

Hi all, I"m new here. Not reading any horror at the moment. Just finished one sort of called Blood and Bullets about a vampire bounty hunter. Was ok, more like urban fantasy than horror. I don't even get some of the sub-categories anymore.

pretty good so far

very impressed :D

agree geralds game was the worst king iv read too..well so far

[QUOTE=newb;922938]Savage


pretty good so far

cant go wrong with laymon,hes the fuckin man!

vampires have headed in many different directions.used to be if it was anything to do with vampires it was horror,now it could be a love story an action or..well anything really

I read and loved Heart Shaped Box. It had me awake at night, much to the amusement of my fiancée (She was the one who recommended it to me). I actually think the writing of the book I recommended is quite similarly brutal, so think that Graveyard Blues might be right up your alley!

I'm also hoping some other people on here will read Graveyard Blues, because

1) It would be nice to see what some other people think of it too and talk to somebody about it.
2) I want it to do well so the author will write more.

fuckin sweet cant wait,only got about less than a quater of the stephin king book to go.
now joe hills stephen kings son right?iv asked this before but no one answerd
