Hope you enjoy The Only Good Indians, Mike. It definitely is divisive (I think mostly because of the writing style) but people who like it LOVE it.

[jamesellis]

“We sold our Souls” by Grady Hendrix was a fun read similar to Best Friend. And it will give you some great Rock and Roll vibes. “My Heart is a chainsaw” by Jones has great Final Girl vibes. 😊

I picked up Summer of Night on impulse to read before the end of October and I'm really digging his writing style and world-building. Will definitely plan to read The Terror and sequels to this one very soon!

[GeneralBlade]

Stolen tongues is genuinely scary. It made me nervous to take my dog outside at night.

[Im_A_Saltine]

For the only good Indians, it’s not that there is a twist, what I find is it’s his writing style that is hit or miss. I love it, it has a noticeable dialect to it, but I can understand why it may be hard for others to read.

Hey Mike. I haven't read that much horror, but I will check and see what a few of those are like. I did want to let you know, that today I started reading while listening to Blackwater, oh my gosh, you were right. It is something. I feel like fantasy just slammed into historical fiction mixed together with the coming of age theme. Also, it's ironic that this story takes place about 2 and a half hours away from Union Town Alabama, where my grandfather and his three brothers are from. Also, it started the Easter before my grandmother was born. I love coming of age stories where science and magic can collide. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you for turning me on to Nick Cutter! Read ‘The Troop’ a couple weeks ago and it was spectacular! Will def be reading more from him

[natalyaduncan]

I listened to Stolen Tongues on audio. The first chapter or prologue (can’t remember which it was) terrified me and I had to listen to it in chunks. The rest wasn’t quite so scary but it was really good! There’s nothing like a horror book on audio, literally someone just telling you a scary story like you’re around a campfire in the woods. The best!

[heidi]

I am reading Stephen Graham Jones’s I Was A Teenage Slasher, and it is his prose and very subtle humor that hooked me!! I loved the teen’s voice from the very first page!

[michaelkibble]

My plan is finishing The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and then read more King books and I have two boxes of them

[taintedcrimson]

I'm currently reading Lost Man's Lane! It's set in the author's Indiana hometown (where I've also spent half my life) and is full of 90s nostalgia.

For a recommendation, Darcy Coates' From Below. It's unlike her other novels and follows a group diving to a sunken ship to film a documentary, but it also follows a second timeline explaining how the ship sank. Truly the perfect horror for anyone frightened by the depths of the ocean!

[civoreb]

Mike, October Society by Christopher Robertson are great short story collections reminiscent of Are You Afraid of the Dark. Kids gather around a campfire for Halloween and tell stories. There are 3 volumes of October Society. Very creative horror stories that gave me serious goosebumps. Cheap on kindle. I think $2.99 or $3.99. Well worth the time and price.

[brian.]

I read Black Mouth a few weeks ago. Good coming of age story, I think you'll like it.

[adamrasmusson]

Reading Slewfoot based on your spooky season reviews. Really Enjoying it. Thanks!

[jamesstockley]

Did Stolen Tongues for this spooky season - included with Audible membership 😊 Quite enjoyed it

[DubiousMuse]

You might check out The Hollow Kind by Andy Davison if you like southern gothic with family drama involved and discovery of old secrets like you mentioned.

[jaredschmidt]

Also, I liked Stephen Graham Jones’ “My Heart is a Chainsaw.” The main character is like a conglomerate of horror movie and media. Lots of references about our favorite horror movies as kids (we’re the same age, brother 😉).

[lnuhfer]

I loved black water when I read it in the 80s. I’m going to reread this year. The elementals is quite good as well. The troop was serious body horror.

[alynam]

I enjoyed the characters in Lost Man's Lane. I think this one will resonate with you.
Black Mouth I thought was good. It's a horror this time, lol-- I see a little Wicked This Way Comes vibe from it, too. I think you'll see why when you get there

[melanieearley]

I got Looking Glass Sound in a book box subscription and really enjoyed it.
