YOUR Favorite Horror Books – May 31st Edition
Sadly, this will be the last installment of what I thought would be a fun exercise in helping other authors… not many people suggested books and I’m not going to ‘remind’ people to get their suggestions in. Also, far too many authors tried to suggest their own books or posted on the comments even though I said not to. Once some authors saw it was to help other authors and not themselves they tuned out. Very sad.
Here are the final suggestions. I want to thank everyone who played along and tried to help authors as well as have some fun with this:
Based on the best-selling, award-winning graphic novel series Locke & Key – written by acclaimed suspense novelist Joe Hill (NOS4A2, Horns) and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez – this multicast, fully dramatized audio production brings the images and words to life.
A brutal and tragic event drives the Locke family from their home in California to the relative safety of their ancestral estate in Lovecraft, Massachusetts, an old house with powerful keys and fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them. As siblings Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode Locke discover the secrets of the old house, they also find that it’s home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all….
Featuring performances by Haley Joel Osment (Entourage, The Sixth Sense), Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), Kate Mulgrew (Orange Is the New Black, Star Trek: Voyager), Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodriguez, and Stephen King (The Stand, 11-22-63), as well as a cast of more than 50 voice actors, this audio production preserves the heart-stopping impact of the graphic novel’s astounding artwork through the use of richly imagined sound design and a powerful original score.
*Locke & Key contains explicit language and adult situations.
(suggested by Malinda Gibson, who said: it scared the be-jesus outta me)

Human flesh tacos, hardcore wrestling, and angry cannibal Mexicans…
Welcome to the Border!
The no-man’s land on the United States/Mexico border is the perfect place for getting away with any crime. With the right connections and with the right amount of money you can run drugs, smuggle people, commit murder, and do much worse.
Felix and Marta came to Mexico to film a documentary on illegal immigration. When Marta suddenly goes missing, Felix must find his lost love in the small border town. A dangerous place housing corrupt cops, borderline maniacs, drug gangs and something much worse… something to do with a strange Mexican food cart…
From Shane McKenzie, one of the most imaginative new voices in horror comes a south-of-the-border Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
(suggested by Frank Edler, who said: MUERTE CON CARNE is easily the best horror story I’ve read in quite some time. Author Shane McKenzie evokes the brutal spirit of Richard Laymon and finishes with an ending so dark it makes the bleakest ending of a Brian Keene novel look like the Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah finale in Song of the South. MUERTE CON CARNE is tacos, luchadores and long pig and that’s just the fun parts!)

Vivienne realizes she is dying. All she wants to do is see her daughter Giselle one last time and apologise. But Giselle no longer exists and it is Crow, a gender-queer anarchist, who returns to a family home that is plagued by ghosts and violent memories.
With the help of a shaman ze met in a dream, Crow unravels terrifying family secrets, hoping to find closure at last. But can anyone survive the shadows that lurk behind these fairy tales?
(suggested by Jack Wallen)

Armand’s Bonus Suggestion
They’re coming. They are a race of sadistic spirits known as the Curburide, and they are about to arrive in our world, bringing with them horrors beyond imagination. The secret to summoning — and controlling — them has fallen into the hands of a beautiful, sexy and dangerously insane woman.
Ariana has dedicated her life to unleashing the demons in our realm through a series of human sacrifices, erotic rituals of seduction and slaughter. As she crosses the country, getting ever closer to completing her blood-drenched mission, only three figures stand in her way: Joe, an unwilling hero who has seen the horrors of the Curburide before, Alex, a burgeoning witch … and a spiteful demon with plans of his own.
(suggested by Armand who said: It’s really hard to pick just one of his books. Great author. Highly recommended. One of my favorites)

Once again, thank you for everyone who suggested a book and played by the rules. I really do appreciate it!

Narcissism… authors want to promote their own, but by raising others, they’ll also raise themselves.
If you enjoy it, don’t stop. The post helped my discover titles that I never knew existed.

Thank you for the kind words and speaking the truth… I might revisit this every few weeks or so.
Glad to know you found a few new books, too!

I run into a similar problem, btw. To help encourage reading, commenting, and sharing I pay my authors per view, comment, and like.
What I’ve found is that people are often quick to help themselves over helping others. It does, at times, feel like beating a dead horse.
