Dark Fiction

[close] Les Maures Passionnés est un espace pour celles et ceux qui aiment naviguer entre les classiques et les littératures de l’imaginaire : fantasy, science-fiction, fantastique, horreur, fiction spéculative… et toutes ces œuvres un peu inclassables qui nous font voir le monde autrement. Ici, nous lisons sans frontières de genre ni d’époque. Nous redécouvrons des auteurs, partageons nos lectures, discutons de livres qui nous ont marqués et lançons ponctuellement des lectures communes, des défis littéraires et des challenges d’écriture. Le groupe revient aujourd’hui après quelques années de silence, avec l’envie de retrouver ce qui l’animait à ses débuts : la curiosité, l’imagination, les échanges et le plaisir de découvrir ensemble des textes que nous n’aurions peut-être jamais ouverts seuls. Pas besoin de tout lire ni de participer à tout. Venez simplement avec vos livres, vos idées, vos recommandations et votre envie de discuter. Bienvenue, ou bon retour, parmi Les Maures Passionnés. 📚✨

[close] For lovers of Dark romance. It’s by far my fav genre, but I can’t find any groups for it on here so I figured why not make one? If you love Dark romance, join!

[close] Welcome to the official Goodreads group for M. Boudreaux, author of psychological horror, supernatural suspense, Southern Gothic horror, and dark thrillers. I’ll use this group to share original book art, cover reveals, character visuals, excerpts, release updates, current projects, deleted scenes, polls, and everything happening behind the pages. Members will also get early looks at upcoming books and a place to talk with me about The Listener, The Grief Counselor, The Kettle, Play Dead, and whatever unsettling story I’m writing next. You do not need to have read every book to join. Come in, look around, share your thoughts, and make yourself at home on the unsettled shelf. My books are written for adults and may include grief, obsession, violence, child endangerment, trauma, unreliable memories, and supernatural horror. Content notes will be included whenever needed.

[close] The Anatomy of Suspense: Dissecting the Mind Behind the Mystery Welcome to the official Goodreads group for author Hermes Marcondes Lourenço! This is the central hub for readers who crave psychological thrillers, gripping suspense, and scientifically informed mystery built on a foundation of clinical reality. As a practicing physician, professor of Urgency Medicine, and certified in Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis, I use my deep, unique understanding of human trauma, the limits of the mind, and psychopathology to craft fiction that is not just surprising—it’s intensely, unsettlingly plausible. If you enjoy a "roller coaster of sensations and emotions," complex characters, and plots that delve into the darkness of the human psyche—from brutal psychopaths (Faces de Um Anjo) and gripping historical mysteries (The Witching Hour) to global conspiracies (THE NEPHESH PROTOCOL) and elements of dark fantasy (The Goblin: The Price of the Soul)—you belong here. What you’ll find in The Anatomy of Suspense: Exclusive Q&A sessions and discussions with Hermes Lourenço. Behind-the-scenes insights into the medical and psychological research that informs the novels. Early news about upcoming releases, including international translations in English and German. Debates and recommendations on the best suspense, mystery, and scientifically informed thrillers across the genre. Ready to dissect the next plot? Join the collective!
