skjamHi folks! Time for another go-round of what Goodreads thinks I might like. This time, it's based on the horror books I've read. Horror is kind of a tricky genre--Often it slides off into ludicrous or just icky.
I've read at least some of these, or a srory or two from the anthologies. Just don't remember enough to rank them. As always, if you've read one of these or heard buzz, let me know in the comments.
