First post! I haven't even gotten halfway and already Goth by Otsuichi is one of my new favs for horror. A must read if you like stories with a lot of twists and turns!
hannah-leeloo Thank you for the follow sweet. @LitsyWelcomeWagon happy reading 📚 ❤📖 2y
MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Nice read! Welcome to Litsy and thanks for the follow 🎉💃 Are you a Chuck Palahniuk reader at all? 2y
AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Name sounds familiar but I don't believe I've read anything by him. What kind of books does he write? 2y

MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward @AXOLOTL He'a most well known as the author of #Fightclub. But! If I may intrude, as a horror fan, give Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk a read. He.... he's very good at playing in moral grey area. Choke and Invisible Monsters by the same author have their own style of villainizing the normal in all of us. Haunted is a mess though, not for the light of heart! 2y
AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Wow I'm gonna have to put that down in my very very VERY long list of books to read! Thanks for the suggestion! 2y
MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward @AXOLOTL I don't know what genre Palahniuk fits in, is what I'm getting at here 😂 Haunted is a novella of... uh, short-stories. It's the only book I've ever had to put down to psychologically cope between chapters. 2y
MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward And I'm a slow typer. Lol! What are your horror top 3 must reads @AXOLOTL ? 2y
AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Very interesting...I'm a big fan of books and authors that go that extra mile to make the reader feel physically uncomfortable. To me it makes the story feel more real. 2y
AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward Top three I must go with my post Goth by Otsuichi, a classic IT by Stephen King, and finally Rings by Koji Suzuki. I love horror from other cultures as well as the genre Splatterpunk horror, these books were made to make you feel sick to your stomach as you're reading and I live for it. 2y
MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward @AXOLOTL oh, you and Palahniuk will make fast friends. I‘ll look forward to seeing more of your reads! Thanks for the picks list, always glad to chat horror with folks who like their books to cost shreds of sanity. 🙃 Welcome, welcome, once again!! 2y
AXOLOTL @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward 🤣 Thank you so much! I look forward to interacting with you and everyone else! 2y
