Description
Move over Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Lovecraft - it's time to let the Scream Queens howl. In Sadie Hartmann's follow-up book to the Bram Stoker Award-winner 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered, horror fans will be delighted to discover a whole new list of horror recommendations - all by women writers.
Taking a cue from the popular practice of mood reading, the most common requests she gets on social media, and the overwhelming positive reaction to the icons included in her first book, Sadie has carefully curated and organized her 200 recommendations into reading lists based on, well, vibes. Are you in your "Gothic Era?" Sadie has a list for that. Going on vacation and need some good dark beach reads? There's a list for that. Just finished Mexican Gothic and need more "Sporror in your life?" You guessed it, there's a list for that too! Each book on every list will include its title, author(s), date of publication, publisher, page count, theme, a spoiler-free description alongside Sadie's recommendation.
Featuring five brand-new essays from popular and rising voices in the genre - Alma Katsu, Alexis Henderson, Christina Henry, Rae Knowles, and Laura Purcell, this illustrated reader's guide is perfect for anyone looking to get out of a reading slump or diversify their TBR pile.
