The group voted to read the Horror nominee,Ink and Bone, in October. The winner for this genre was The Fireman. Have you read any of the other nominees for this award? Which have you read and what did you think? Which was your favorite?

Do you plan to read any of them in the future? How about setting up a buddy read of one that you are interested in this month? Use this thread to discuss and find a buddy!

Schedule buddy reads here, then set up a separate thread to discuss.

Vicki Willis | 1047 comments This is one of my favorite genres, but I haven't heard of most of these.
I did read The Butterfly Garden and thought it was really good, in a haunting, disturbing way.
I do want to read Disappearance at Devil's Rock and maybe Fellside.

I often enjoy horror books. I have read The Fireman, The Butterfly Garden, and The City of Mirrors from the list and thought all three were really good. I am interested in Ink and Bone and may some day read The Visitor (Graveyard Queen, #4). I own The Restorer (Graveyard Queen, #1), but haven't read it yet, so I'm not sure if I'll be interested in the series.

Janina (sylarana) | 0 comments I love some type of horror novels and don't care much about most of them. The whole Passage trilogy was absolutely amazing imo, but I couldn't even finish The Fireman (even though pandemics are usually my thing). I can't stand a certain type of religious vibe underlying many horror novels (such as almost everything written by Mr King) and I avoid anything involving ghosts or wereanythings or witches or anything paranormal. Which limits what's written in this genre quite a bit.
