Summer Horror Book Recs

[@TheMovieGhoul]

Great list! I Have the troop but haven’t gotten around to reading it. The ruins is another I plan on picking up

[@TheBookubus]

Excellent list! I’ve only read the first three but I agree, they are all awesome and perfect for summer :)

[@taylortalkstales8106]

Awesome selection Jo! I almost put Into the Drowning Deep in my video since it's such a good one. For some reason I associate reading the Troop with cooler weather because my book's cover makes it look very stormy/cold haha.

[@billkeon880]

The Elementals is a MUST!!! Summery and hot setting of the southern US

[@TheBookishMom]

I have been wanting to pick up the Troop! I have heard super good things about it!

[@JasonsWeirdReads]

Great recommendations! I still have not read The Ruins. I might fix that this summer.

[@stevenbolton7145]

Peter Benchley's Jaws is always a summer favourite.

[@starian72]

I've been meaning to read the troop for years, I really need to read it this year!

[@mindysbookjourney]

I loved The Troop and Into the Drowning Deep. I want to read The Ruins so bad. Somehow it is still unread on my shelves. Great recommendations!

[@WritteninBlood]

The Troop was such a wild ride! The Ruins was good but I cheered for the vines more than I did the douchey characters. Into the Drowning Deep was sort of slow to me but the action and gore scenes were excellent.

[@JoanieMaeZie]

Books of Blood 🤣 i can relate about The Ruins... the characters were not great.

[@FrankFulci]

The Troop is a fantastic book!!!

[@elmohm]

you're awesome, thank you. keep up the good work

[@heathersbooks816]

I’ve read and enjoyed all of those! My favorite summer horror book is Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. It’s very atmospheric and perfect for summer reading.

[@daveedmunds1109]

Just finished that one. It's awesome. A rival for King's IT?

[@daveedmunds1109]

I haven't seen Desperation by the King mentioned yet. That's set in the Arizona desert so a great summer read. Also, not strictly horror, but Gone South by Robert R McCammon is fantastic and definitely fits the summer vibe.

[@JoanieMaeZie]

Dave Edmunds I need to check out Robert McCammon soon! I still haven’t read anything of his. I’ve actually started Desperation several times and never finished it. Maybe this should be the summer for both...

[@daveedmunds1109]

@@JoanieMaeZie if you're starting with McCammon I'd read Boy's Life. It's jaw droppingly good. You'll be hooked after that? Did you not like the opening of Desperation? I though it was awesome with that crazy cop going round killing/kidnapping everyone 😁

[@readinglegend1155]

I need to find into the drowning Deep, I got it from the library one day and then decided I needed my own copy so I could read it at my own pace without a due date attached

[@rayneeny]

Tommy Knockers is a great read,it gets slammed by a lot people but i love it. Joyland is a good summer read.

[@jeremiahpapa7868]

Summer of Night, Dan Simmons. Bag of Bones, Stephen King Strange Weather, Joe Hill

[@JoanieMaeZie]

Those are all great pics! Strange Weather is an excellent one.
