101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered by Sadie Hartmann My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was really looking forward to this book and I wasn't disappointed. As far as I'm aware, this is the first guide to horror fiction since Steve Jones published Horror: 100 Best Books here in the UK way back in the 1980s. That was arranged chronologically whereas this new guide by Sadie Hartmann is arranged by theme and covers books released between 2000 and 2023. A useful feature is the "at a glance" summary for each book. It's a reliable, well-written guide that any horror fan should find invaluable. View all my reviews

So why now?  Well, I'm retired so I have time on my hands, although it's taken a lot of time to get to grips with the online world.  I'm sure I have more to learn and I welcome comments and suggestions from those more familiar not just with the technology but with the horror community. While my main focus is on...
