Horror Aficionados discussion

Please suggest a horror novel you would like to read this January. This one is a free for all. No themes. :)

Also this January, I'd like to announce that our guest author will be Lee Thompson and we will be discussing his novella When We Join Jesus In Hell.

"Prey"- Graham Masterton.

Looking forward to the discussion with Lee. That was one of the most twisted books I read this year.

Now - back to reading. Haven't even started December's book yet.

Lee Thompson! SWEEEET!! WWJJIH kicked ass! I really like the guest author thang and Lee is very cool, so it should be fun to discuss.

Oooh, I'm looking forward to Jesus in Hell book.

For the Group Read, I'm in the mood for something fun and not high literature, like this book: Fragment. Could be a fun read like Natural Selection was.

I'll second Fragment. That looks excellent.

I am pretty psyched about the Jesus group read!

I've read Fragment.

Pass.

Pretty psyched about Jesus and Lee Thompson though, too!

Thanks for the invite Jason and Tressa! I'm honored! And very excited to answer any questions anybody has. It's going to be fun! Okay, I gotta get back to work! Thanks, all!

Jon, have you read it yet, or no?

Not yet, Charlene.
Gonna start it tonight.

I'm excited to hear what you think!

I'm excited that I think loud enough for you to hear!

I have powers as of yet unknown to you.

You bugged my brain, didn't you..... ;)

Beware the powers of Charlene. Quietly step away and everything might be okay.

Might.

I wanna know how she got past the bats.............

No problem, Lee! Thank you for saying yes. We're excited to have you!

Just discovered Lee recently and love the hell out of his work.

Can anyone tell me the order of the Division books?

Lee's website has a list above and there is also another website for the Division series as well.

Thanks Brett! And thanks for sharing the links, Bill! I'm going to add a sidebar on my website with them in order so people know. Should have done that a long time ago but I get distracted reading and writing. Lol. Appreciate you getting the info for Jon, man!

Not a problem, Lee. I just finished Before Leonora Wakes a couple hours ago (Very Good BTW) and was peeping on your website to print out the list when I saw Jon's question. Looking forward to the guest author deal in January too!

Thanks, man! Things get a lot darker after BLW for the rest of Red's life. I'm looking forward to the guest author deal too. I spend way too much time in my own head. Hehe. And it's fun to discuss writing and stories. It's like having emotional/intellectual sex with strangers.

I'll wear a shower cap......

Haha. Probably a good idea using your head like that.

I enjoyed When We Join Jesus in Hell and am looking forward to the discussion. I actually read it twice---once for the story and the second time to concentrate on structure, symbolism, and characters. It wes even better the second time through.

Are you a member of the Darkfuse book club, Chris? I remember somebody saying that very thing in the Lee Thompson thread.

Yes I am and it was me who said that.

Awesome. :)

Looks like there are quite a few HA members that are members of the DarkFuse book club too. I know I ran across Jason, Charlene, Dianne, Chris and Nikki won a subscription on a Michael McBride online Q&A thang. Not to mention all the great authors on the site, Lee included. First year for me - I think I am going to like!

I think the price is right too, Bill. For $60.00 per year you get a hell of a lot of books.
I hope the price stays affordable so I can re-up when my prize runs out.

Me, too. I love it there!

What is the DarkFuse Book Club?

I was already buying pretty much everything they were putting out. Several of my favorite authors publish there. And all the bonuses made it an offer that I couldn't refuse.....

DarkFuse is a publsher of Dark Fiction and they have some really excellent authors in their line up: Gifune, Thompson, Curran, Ryker, McBride, Strand, Malfi, etc. The ebook club is a kick-ass deal and content is delivered directly to your Kindle or Kindle app. I just signed up and it is very cool!

That is awesome. I am on the Stoker Award jury for long fiction, so I've read most of these (for free) as a part of that. But next year I may have to jump on this. Great collection of authors there.

Okay, guys, I need to set up the polls soon. I think that there's one suggestion. lol. Are there any others?

I will nominate Desert Places and Island Life.

Cool, Addy, and thanks! Who are the author(s) of those books?

Oh, let me go look on my TBR list.

Blake Crouch and William Meikle

Blood Crazy looks really good. And The Dead Parade. Not sure about the easy availability of these books.

Darkened and City Infernal

All right! I'm off to set up the poll, so I'm not taking any more suggestions. :)

Not even obscene ones?

I always take obscene ones, Jon.

Poll is up! I added everyone's suggestions because, well, it Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone, and happy voting and reading!
