We will be having one regular group read in January, 2016 rather than our normal two, for reasons that will soon be announced. Please post your suggestions for our January group read below!

If I am allowed to suggest my own, then
Once Bitten, Twice DieCurrently on Amazon at discount (and being reviewed by Hollywood producer for potential film - exciting...)
Along with Lena I'd have to say
Ghosters Ghosters by Ralph Robert Moore promises to be a different sort of read. This guy thinks well out of the box.
Jenny wrote: "Blood Lily by Jenny Allen"Antony and Jenny, please refrain from suggesting your own books. I know that it's hard to garner attention for your works, but this is not the place to do it.
If allowed, this thread would soon disintegrate into all self published authors promoting their works.
Other authors, further suggestions of your own books will be deleted.
Understood and apologies. In that case, can I suggest an old book? "The Shining"? never got round to read it, but would love to...
I enjoyed Stephen King's 'The Dark Half' a few years ago. It has an intriguing premise, which is half the battle for me, when I'm in reading and not writing mode. Also, I second Antony's suggestion, 'The Shining' - a masterpiece of creeping terror somewhat different from the film.
Antony wrote: "Understood and apologies. In that case, can I suggest an old book? "The Shining"? never got round to read it, but would love to..."Of course! Thank you. :)
I'd like to read that Dark Half. I haven't read Steven King in a while.

A BookTuber, whose opinion I highly value, has this on his top 20 of 2015. Therefore, I second The Lesser Dead.

Mod
, and
have already been seconded (WOLF LAND was the first that came to mind), I'll throw in
I was going to suggest either The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King or The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum.

Any of the above would be ace (I'm always looking to try new books), but I especially love and extol The Wasp Factory. It is creepy, heartless, draining but totally engrossing. Any excuse to read it again!
- To Wake the Dead aka Amara by Richard Laymon

LOVE ME some old McCammon and some new King. :)
Jesus, The Collector - a real serial killer based his life on that book.
Lena wrote: "Jesus, The Collector - a real serial killer based his life on that book."I've been wanting to read that book for a long time.
I'll nominate Furnace by Muriel Gray.Gray's debut, The Trickster. is one of my favourite horror novels. When she was waiting for Furnace to be published she received a phone call out of the blue saying it was one of the best horrors they'd ever read - from Stephen King, who had been sent a copy of the manuscript.
I say Stephen King bazaar of bad dreams will be on my short list to read come January since its the present that I will be opening on Christmas morning

Good luck with the Hollywood review Antony!
I'd like to do Bazaar of Bad Dreams, too, as some folks suggested above - but hey what do I know, this would only be my second group read ever!
Michael Bray Project Apex by Michael Bray. It is brand new and the reviews are coming back excellent. We could also arrange a good deal for your readers.
Since I just bought it I suggest The nightmare girl by Jonathan Janz. I am not sure if you read it already as a group read though
Since there's no theme for the month, I'm going to recommend my suggestion once again from last month:
The Girl with All the Gifts
Steven wrote: "The Ritual by Adam Nevill."i second that one! Got it for my kindle and it looks cool.
I'll let these suggestions go on until Sunday and then I will put together our poll.
Even though I nominated a book already, I'll 2nd The Girl with All the Gifts
Might as well have 2 child "monster" books to vote for ;)
My vote goes to: The End of Alice
or I second The Collector
which has a very similar premise.

I would like to join that if you don't mind Adamus.
