Mystery

[close] Have you read the book, seen the movie, neither – but you are eager to read and see both? Then this is absolutely perfect group for you! We like to see this club as a nice and friendly place where members read and watch and discuss their favorite and/or wish-to-read-and-see books and movies. Of course, everybody is welcome!

[close] This group is dedicated to an appreciation of important works of literature, both classic and contemporary... that happen to fall into the category of Dark Fiction. We tend to avoid the big, banal blockbusters (and the more lurid fare) in favor of beautifully written explorations of the unknown, many of them obscure, all of them extraordinary. [Note from the Moderator: A couple of years ago, we changed our group name from "Literary Horror" in order to expand our sphere of interests (and dislodge a few embedded trolls). Our enthusiasms embrace Gothic, Weird Fiction, and Noir, as well as much that might be classified as Horror, but we also appreciate literary fiction that cannot be easily fitted into a marketing niche. In fact, this latter group of titles has evolved into our primary focus. Most serious fiction deals (to some extent) with darker themes, and many works of distinction have employed supernatural, surreal or existentialist elements. These books have power. They endure, because they appeal to serious readers and provide thoughtful entertainment. Come. Explore them with us.]

[close] Women of Mystery is a private group for women who love to read and discuss mysteries and thrillers written by female authors. The spectrum of our reading selections is broad, ranging from psychological thrillers, cozies, crime, action and adventure thrillers, romantic suspense and any novels that are filled with conundrums to perplex and puzzle us. We also enjoy books featuring women detectives or sleuths written by male authors. If you feel that the friendliness and comfort of a smaller reading group would be to your liking, please apply. We are always on the lookout for eager participants.

[close] A group for Aussie GR members (and those interested in our wonderful land of OZ), who love nothing more than to curl up with a good crime, thriller, suspense or mystery!
