What I'm Reading: Horror for Fun, Not Pay

During my October Blog-a-Thon on the horror blog, I had reviews of some horror books I had read on my own time this past year. In order to make sure they also appear here on the general blog, I have   posted them today with links to my full Goodreads review.

Just because it is now November, that doesn't mean you can't read a good horror story. And all 5 of these are very good.

• Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin [magical realism, menacing atmosphere, harrowing]
• translated by Megan McDowell
• Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi [haunting, darkly humorous, compelling]
• translated by Jonathan Wright
• The Hunger by Alma Katsu [anxiety, multiple povs, riveting]
• Genre Besides Horror: Historical Fiction
• Destroyer by Victor LaValle [reimagining a classic, revenge, monsters- real and supernatural]
• Genre Besides Horror: Literary Fiction
• Format: Graphic Novel
• Husk by Dave Zeltserman [unreliable narrator, thought provoking, anxiety]
• Genre Besides Horror: Psychological Suspense [think if Paul Tremblay wrote Dexter-- use the link for more details]
