What Are You Currently Reading - 2022
I'm excited to start 2022 and ease back on my challenge a little bit. This year has been a bit stressed trying to get it done.

It helps me to set a goal a little bit lower than I can do so this way I can easily pass it. It is even more satisfying to see that and I don't get stressed usually :)
I agree with everyone, this year I plan on reading books I actually want to read. Some of the books I read last year I could have done without.
i'm reading Lolita, which may not fit the conventional horror genre classification, but personally i find it very disturbing. which is why i'm into it, i guess!

It's really well written, and like you, I found it a bit horrifying.

Maybe this year is the year! I will keep an eye out for your final thoughts on it!
Aim reading razorblade tears and the mist.
I'm trying to get through my to be read pile, because it's getting out of hand. I started with a book I had begun last year, but never finished- Cursed Objects: Strange But True Stories of the World's Most Infamous Items
@Sugar, that book sounds really intriguing. It seems like one to rad off and on while reading something else. Going to look into it.

i have just started Salem's Lot by Stephen King
Mod
This one is still on my TBR pile as well! It's one I'm looking forward to.
I am reading these two at the moment:
I Call Upon Thee by Ania Ahlborn - very creepy and really good!
Blood Seance by John Kaden - haven't started it yet but will this week. :)

I'm reading
and I'm reading a collection from Christopher Golden
. And I'm listening to one of our group reads
.
Still reading They Thirst by McCammon (I´m in the last third now), finished Chasing the Boogeyman yesterday (5/5) and now started with The Loop!
I started Fantasticland by Mike Bockoven. I don't remember how I got this ebook copy but it was quite some time ago. I found the audiobook and am listening to it.
I'm currently reading Good Neighbors by Good Neighbors, and while it defies genre, I am definitely finding it horrifying!
Since I paid for Audible this month (accidentaly) I might as well dive in. I also started My best friend's exorcism by Grady Handrix and it s quite entertaining for now; gradual as it should be I think.
Just started "The Troop" by Nick Cutter! Here's to a great rest of the weekend :-)
just started one of the group reads for this month! based on the first two chapters, seems promising.
I enjoyed The Troop a lot...just like Cutter's other novels. Old school meat and potatoes horror! :) The Deep was my favorite.
Horrid by Katrina Leno. I'm barely 100 pages in, but it's really interesting so far!
I’m 1/3 of the way through The Only Good Indians…I’m intrigued so far!
I have two going right nowSexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson byCamille Paglia
and
Earth Abides by George R. Stewart
Mexican Gothic. And Comfort Me with Apples
