Ghosts New Releases

[close] I am in serious need of some great horror recommendations. I have read most of King, but you can recommend anyway! I would love a great YA horror, but I am at the point where it just doesn't matter. I want a horror so bad! I'm talking ghosts and paranormal creepiness. Zombies and vamps aren't really horror-y for me, but if you know of one that is BRING IT! So, my official plea... someone help me find an awesome horror story!

[close] Horror Enthusiast Book Club for horror fans in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA. We read frightening & unsettling books for discussion! This complements our in-person adult meetings that take place in the Twin Cities. Connect with us on Facebook & on the BookClubs app!

[close] A group for writers of ghost stories and Gothic fiction. Come into our haunted group and ignore the negative raven, and tell us what spooky things have happened in your novel or short story. (I should mention this group isn't for writers who love Poe only, we talk about other writers of haunting stories as well while we write our own stories). This group is on NaNoWriMo as well as on Goodreads, so this is the Goodreads version of the group.

[close] Are you a feminist, interested in feminist history, interested in horror, or gothic literature? If you are interested in any of those, join this group. If you are interested in all of the above, you will love the female gothic. Female gothic literature is literature written by women that uses gothic worlds and settings to bring into question gender roles, expectations, and norms. The use of symbols and tropes is very significant in the female gothic. Traditional stories may have naively curious heroines, such as Mysteries of Upolpho. Other works such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein play with character relations to show female struggles. There are layers and layers of depth to the female gothic, something worthy of endless conversations. Join this group to recommend female gothic literature, read some, or learn about the female gothic.
