    I love Simone St. James -- the first book I read by her was "The Haunting of Maddy Clare" on Kindle and I've read every one since. I highly recommend Michelle Paver's "Dark Matter" as I had to turn on every light in the house and pull the covers right up to my neck. Also Dan Simmons' "A Winter Haunting."

    • @floogelhornzzz4770
      @floogelhornzzz4770 15 годин тому

      Everyone seems to praise Michelle Paver's book as being really scary. Hmm, I wonder. And the Dan Simmons book seems to be connected to his previous book _Summer of Night._ Do you know that one?

    I knew Josh Malerman wrote Bird Box and the movie adaptation seemed great but he really hit my radar when I heard about the book Incidents Around the House. I was actually thinking he was a sci fi author until I saw the back to back releases in the horror genre. I’m really looking forward to reading more of his books!

    • @georgianic

    Hey Georgia...I got a scary story to tell while I prepare a Limoncello..it's about a 18 wheeler truck driver who stopped at a Truck Stop to fuel up his rig and he was in a hurry to make it to Los Angeles CA so it was very dark and foggy so he was on his way when out of nowhere a young woman flagged him down and he rolled down the window of his truck and said to her do you need a lift to which she answered yes I live about 15 miles iup ahead so the trucker gives her a lift as they drove down 115 miles down the highway she told him to stop and she proceeded to get off but the fog was so thick she actually disappeared from sight and the truck driver decided to wait another 3 hours before daybreak when daylight appeared he noticed a little house over the meadow he went there to ask about the young woman and the father of the house said you must be looking for my daughter she died 5 years ago and the truck driver stood there in disbelief.

    Do you have read the terryfing short stories "Mr. Justice Harbottle" and "Squire Toby's Will" by Sheridan Le Fanu, the series of ghostly tales in the book Can Such Things Be? by Ambrose Bierce and the classic book A Warning to the Curious by M.R. James? If you like the terror genre you will love these stories. They would be great reading for this month.
