No One Gets Out Alice by Adam Nevill is very much a haunted house story and I recommend it.

A Night In The Lonesome October is by Roger Zelazny and is actually very kid friendly. It is about a dog, his master, and a Ctulhuean ritual.

There was a short story about owl monsters or possibly bear monsters vs a gang of outlaws. One of the outlaws shot a baby monster, maybe. Does that ring a bell?

There was a short story I read online that was about bear monsters loving up a gang of outlaws in the old west. It might have had massacre or monster in the title. It was good is all.

grobbo posted:It was both pretty inept and fundamentally light-hearted, but I just watched Velvet Buzzsaw and I was struck by how it probably had the most Ligotti-ish premise I've seen in mainstream cinema or TV. every story that references the King In Yellow is what you're looking for It's a good collection of short stories but the title story is not as good as some of the pastiches of it.

MWINYD is a concise summation of Ligotti's actual beliefs imo. It's very good.

Cyberdud posted:I had a weird streak where i was interested in the concept of copying one's mind into another body after playing a specific video game a while ago (I assume you'll figure out which one at the end of this post). So i went looking for books that tackle this concept in different ways. Have just read the book thanks to your recommendation. Felt more like a mystery than horror, the clones were all at peace and basically avoided any body horror, even the dude who wasn't a clone. Book owned, thanks for mentioning it.

Read The Death and Life of Schneider Wrack and really enjoyed it. It's sort of a high fantasy/horror mashup. An industrial labor zombie wakes up and things only get better/worse from there. Highly recommended.

a foolish pianist posted:I started Jeremy Robert Johnson’s The Loop last week, and so far, it’s pretty much just 90s teen horror film Disturbing Behavior (which isn’t a particularly good teen horror movie, even by the low standards of the genre). Anyone else read it? Yeah I read all his stuff. I didn't think it was bad, I liked the antagonists. Also the stoner teen doing mushrooms seemed reasonably well written.

Bilirubin posted:Reading another Philip Fracassi chapbook, a little novella called Commodore. So far its like a weird Stand By Me, but the body isn't quite dead and its in a junkyard and is a car. Really needs a milkshake I'd never heard of this dude, just read Altar. Brutal, gently caress. Very good.

Mr. Nemo posted:'Salem's Lot by Stephen King. It was extremely gripping. It had been like a decade since i last read King novel, i'll probably work my way through his catalogue. make sure to read his short story collections, a lot of them are imo better than his novels

Finished In the Valley of the Sun. It was really great, western with vampires. The vampires don't know much about being vampires, which is the funniest kind of vampire.

Read the Wolf Hunt trilogy by Jeff Strand and they're all a lot of fun. They're gory but it's all so fun that mostly the comedy of a couple of middle-aged thugs trying to survive werewolves overwhelms the horror.

Read The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch and it was really good. Cosmic horror and time travel. It's hard to talk about without spoiling it, it's not particularly gory but there's a fair amount of deaths.
