Interesting choices. And I need to read some Dan Simmons. I was always interested in his writing, but never got around to read him properly.
And it's good to hear praise for NOS4A2, cause I'm taking part in this read as well.

Nice picks! I am taking part in the challenge as well and I can't believe I didn't make the connection between The King in Yellow book and True Detective! Thanks for pointing that out...I just got myself another book to add to my list! :)

I'll be reading Geek Love for sure for the challenge as well! 'Salem's Lot is another I really want to read for the challenge, but haven't gotten a physical copy of yet. Good luck! I've subscribed:)

Haha, glad you like the name of the group! A lot of people have trouble remembering it so iI've been thinking of changing it... I just can't come up with anything better. Plus, I like it too!
Oooh you got Summer of Night! I was interested in reading that one but I can't find it here. I'll be very curious to hear what you think of it. Which Dan Simmons' book you read before? Don't tell me it was Hyperion, cause that one is AMAZING, and you should absolutely read it if you haven't yet. 
I heard all kinds of stuff about Geek Love. Definitely sounds like a crazy, disturbing one!

The whole world decided to read The King in Yellow after watching True Detective. More tv shows should reference obscure works, that would get more people reading.
I'll be listening to Salem's Lot on audiobook! Hope it's good. :)

Great TBR! Happy reading to you and good luck with the challenge!

Salem's Lot was one of the few books that truly terrified me. Dark Stuff. Reading The King in Yellow because of, you guessed it, True Detective.

Good list. I've stayed away from Dan Simmons Horror but I love his Science Fiction. His historical thrillers are okay.

How about "The October Country" by Ray Bradbury?
