Horror

[close] idk, we're just reading

[close] Welcome to the kingdom of short stories! Every month we will read a collection or anthology. Each book will contain short stories in fantasy, science fiction, horror, or some mix of the three. We want to keep the group active and so we reserve the right to remove any who are 100% inactive for over 1 year, no offense intended.

[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] With a classic book, you don't need a flux capacitor you don't have to hit 88 mph and you don't even need a DeLorean to go back in time. So why not pick up a classic book today? Let's get BACK to the CLASSICS!
