I'm just so happy one of the books I sent you ended up on this list. Thirteen Storeys is phenomenal and so special. I don't even see Magnus Archives fans talk about it when it's by the same guy, criminally underrated

Although the AUTHOR is hyped (T. Kingfisher), no one ever talks about The Twisted Ones which is my favorite book by them. It’s a folk horror. “At Home With The Horrors: 14 Chilling Tales” by Sammy Scott. “Dead Silence” is great. people give shit to “The Return” by Rachel Harrison but I gave it 5 stars lol. “Parasite” By Darcy Coates.

They translated Blackwater for the first time ever to spanish, and oh my you need to see the spanish editions! they're GORGEOUS!! I usually read in english if that's the original language for the book, but this time I'm buying the spanish editions (they separated them in the original parts so they're 6 of them) just because of how amazingly beautiful they are!

I always laugh so much at your jokes. I can't even. I just added all of those to Goodreads tbr. Already read Spite House and it was good. I need to re-read that one. Have you read Out There Screaming? Great short story collection, many of them are speculative horror. My fav horror book is And Then She Fell. It only has 1900 ratings on GR...I can't stop thinking about it.

The old rock musician Greg Kihn turned out to be a HELL of a cross-genre author. His debut novel HORROR SHOW has fictional avatars of Ed WOod, ANton LaVey, Vampira, etc and is absolutely amazing. This - "When Monster Magazine reported Clint Stockbern sets out to interview the legendary fifties horror movie director Landis Woodley, he finds a reclusive, forgotten, and bitter old man. Worming his way through the door of the Scotch-drinking, cigar-smoking filmmaker's home, Stockbern finds a treasure trove of B-movie memorabilia. Playing to the movie genius's ego, Stockbern does his best to dig up a few good anecdotes from the past--but what he uncovers is a story of real-life horror! Flashback to 1957 Hollywood, where Landi Woodley is getting ready to shoot his latest movie, Cadaver, set in a real-life L.A. morgue. He is also bent on throwing the ultimate Halloween party. Attendee will include Lucifer-obsessed anthropologist Albert Beaumond and Devila, the celebrated TV horrow-show hostess. Even Satan himself may put in an appearance. And when cheap special effects are replaced by real corpses, a deadly curse may windup taking its toll on all these foolish enough to become involved with the filming of the cult movie classic, Cadaver." Run. Don't walk. And there are more books in the series, and they are all great. And I dont do franchise series reading.
