Librarybelle Yay, #teamsqueamish ! I‘m afraid I can only vote for Book 4, which sounds the least scary of all. It will be fun to see which is selected. Either way, I‘ll enjoy reading the comments! 7y

batsy Fun!! I'm so in! Off to do some research 🤓 7y

Cinfhen Excellent, I‘m putting together the guest list @MinDea @TrishB @CarolynM @batsy ❤️ 7y

Cathythoughts I‘m in 👍🏻❤️ 7y

BookwormAHN I'm in 🖤 7y

BookwormAHN

Cold Moon Over Babylon

MrsV Can I join? 7y

Cinfhen Yay!!! Our first suggestion @BookwormAHN 💕and glad to have some new party guests @MrsV and my old time friend @Cathythoughts 7y

mabell I'm a total weenie, so I may have to just spectate this one! (While peeking through my fingers) 😳 7y

erzascarletbookgasm

The Woman in Black: A Ghost Story

CoffeeAndABook Count me in!!! I‘m such a scaredy-cat, I‘m not sure I can contribute book suggestions but I promise I‘ll read along with you guys by my side 😬😬😬 👻👻👻 And the 80s!!! I was there full on!! While the 70s were childishly cute for me, the 80s were in my bones, as painful as it gets music-, fashion- & especially hair-wise!!! This is going to be so much fun 🎀 7y

Cinfhen Hahahahaha, me too @mabell so I‘m hoping we can agree on something scary BUT not blood curling! I think @erzascarletbookgasm book choice is meant to be horror-lite😗so that might be a good option for us weenies 😜 7y

Cinfhen Same !!!!! @CoffeeAndABook #OnceAnEightiesGirlALWAYSanEightiesGirl 7y

erzascarletbookgasm @mabell @CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen I‘m a scaredy-cat too, that‘s why I suggested a ‘mild‘ one! 😄 Depending on the choice of book, I may have to sit this out till the next party. 7y

Lizpixie

Cujo

Cathythoughts Is Frankenstein long ? Would that be an option. ? Maybe @TrishB a short book ? ( novella) by SK ?? 7y

Lizpixie I got you @Cinfhen 7y

Cinfhen I knew I could count on my #greeneyedpixie @Lizpixie 💚 7y

Lizpixie @Cinfhen 😘💚💚💚 #GoGoShirtsAndRaRaSkirts 7y

batsy @mabell Me too! I'm hoping whatever we read is not too gory 😆 7y

batsy Love the idea of a good haunted house horror so I'm suggesting this one published in 1988 :)

Night Things

batsy Also tagging @Reggie and @rohit-sawant because I think #HELLoWEEN screams their name 😁 7y

Reggie @TrishB did they make good horror back then that was anything less than 500 pgs.? Lol I wanted to suggest Stinger by Robert McCammon but it sits at 542 pgs. I‘m totally up for this though, @batsy. 7y

Librarybelle @erzascarletbookgasm @mabell @CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen @batsy Consider me a squeamish one as well! I stay away from a lot of horror, so depending upon the book choice, I may have to bow out of this one. 👻 Sorry - can‘t offer any suggestions - I‘m a tad more in tune with gothic horror (Poe)! 7y

thereadingowlvina Oh count me in please! 😁 7y

Pamwurtzler Count me in!! 7y

SledgeReader I‘m with the squeamish team. But don‘t let me hold the group back! 👻 7y

Velvetsun Ooh I want to be included. 7y

Reviewsbylola Fun!! I don‘t have any suggestions so I‘m excited to see what gets chosen! 7y

Mdargusch I have to join in for the 80‘s theme but I‘m not a big horror fan. This will be a fun way to get into a new genre 7y

Bookzombie Count me in! I will have to look for some suggestions. 👻🎃💀 7y

GripLitGrl 🙌🙌count me in such fun! The only one I can think of that's not too long

Legion

RealLifeReading I don‘t read much horror but I do make an exception for Halloween 🎃 7y

RealLifeReading I just found this Japanese horror novel - written in the 80s but only translated into English in 2017. Nothing scares me more than Japanese horror!

Graveyard Apartment

RealLifeReading Night Things sounds good @batsy 7y

batsy @RealLifeReading I have that on my TBR and didn't realise it was written in the 80s! Nice. True, I expect Japanese horror to be terrifying (which is why I've been putting it off 😅) 7y

peaKnit I was looking around and remember Different Seasons by Stephen King, my own 80‘s obsession😂 it has four novellas, 3 whichbecame movies, we all know Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, then Apt Pupil was also a movie. Leaving Breathing Method, but it‘s only 60+ pages, maybe The Body (Stand by Me) and Breathing Method? I loved that whole book, wore the pages out in 7th grade! That said, Night Things also sounds interesting. Excited! (edited) 7y

Cinfhen Thanks for the suggestions @RealLifeReading @peaknit @GripLitGrl @batsy I‘ll compile a list and then put it to vote! So glad you‘re all back in @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @Pamwurtzler @Librarybelle @SledgeReader @Bookzombie It looks like most of us prefer horror-lite 😜 7y

Cinfhen So glad for new faces @Velvetsun @thereadingowlvina @reggie 😍 7y

Reviewsbylola I actually prefer as gory as possible but I see that I‘m in the minority. 🤣🤣 7y

bookandbedandtea I'm team squeamish but when you guys finalize your choice I'll see if I think I can handle it. 👾 7y

DebinHawaii Late to the party as usual. I saw this last night but sleep beckoned harder. 😉I'm in, but struggling with a book recommendation that's under 350 pages & from the 80s, readily available now, that isn't a total gore-fest. There's this one which is first in a series and I haven't read although it gets good reviews on Amazon. And it put I Wear My Sunglasses at Night in my head. 😎👂🏻🐛 Oh-it was first published in 1989 too so right on the cusp.

Sunglasses After Dark (Anniversary)

(edited) 7y

TrishB @Reggie I haven‘t found any yet! 7y

TrishB I‘m not squeamish !! Will give most things a go! 7y

Cinfhen Love you @DebinHawaii and love that song by Corey Hart but I don‘t think I can handle a vampire book 🤪 7y

Cinfhen Hahaha we‘ve got #TeamSqueamish @bookandbedandtea and #TeamGore @Reviewsbylola @TrishB 7y

mabell I agree with @Librarybelle - gothic horror may be more my speed! I'm looking forward to seeing what is chosen and whether I think I can handle it 😬 I can't wait for the 80s posts! 😎 7y

mabell @Cinfhen and #teammickeysnotsoscaryhalloween @mabell 😂 7y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen It's OK. I love you too. 😍😆That's all I got at the moment that hasn't been mentioned. 80s horror was a lot about the page count. I'll try to look for something else later if I get a minute. 7y

DebinHawaii I probably lean to #TeamGore with @Reviewsbylola and @TrishB 😱😆 7y

Cinfhen I‘m throwing in my suggestion it has TONS of #LitsyLove @DebinHawaii @TrishB @Reggie @Reviewsbylola @mabell @bookandbedandtea

The Elementals

TrishB Not read that one! Looks good 👍🏻 7y

DebinHawaii Works for me! 👍 7y

LeahBergen Count me in! 7y

LeahBergen The Elementals sounds great (I may have read it back in the day 🤔). I love a good haunted house story. 👻 7y

Bookzombie I second @RealLifeReading on Graveyard Apartment! Also, Night Things @batsy posted. 7y

Bookzombie I lean toward #teamgore. 😁 7y

Cinfhen Woohoo 🎉🙌🏻💜 @LeahBergen NOW the party‘s getting started !!!!!! 7y

Cinfhen I‘m gonna whittle down the list a bit and put it up for vote tomorrow @Bookzombie 👻 7y

GripLitGrl Nice suggestions so far looking forward to seeing what we end up with👻🎑🙌 7y

Bookzombie @Cinfhen That‘s great! Thank you for putting this together again! 7y

BluestockingDuchess This will be fun! 7y

peaKnit #nerdalert I just entered this buddy read into my calendar! 7y

Bklover Oh this sounds like fun! I missed the discussion but read all about it (I‘m vacationing with my oldest daughter). This next one should be great! Can‘t wait! 7y

bookandbedandtea @Cinfhen @DebinHawaii @TrishB @Reggie @Reviewsbylola @mabell I went to look up The Elementals and I accidentally one-clicked it! 😯 So if that's the one that gets picked I'll try to participate despite being #TeamSqueamish ! 7y

TrishB @bookandbedandtea accidentally one-clicked - love it 💕😁 7y

Cinfhen Oh Man @bookandbedandtea I‘ve done that before🤪it‘s gonna get my vote so 🤞🏼🤞🏼that the others vote for it too!!! I bet if you contact Amazon, they will credit you. 7y

vivastory I'm definitely down for a horror read! I see The Elementals has gotten a lot of mentions. That's been on my TBR for awhile now! 7y

Reggie I kinda wanna 3rd @RealLifeReading. When I looked up best 80‘s horror fiction that book was in the top ten. 7y

ElishaLovesBooks Oh boy! I‘m the biggest scaredy-cat. I once started reading a Dean Koontz while I was babysitting in the 90‘s and have been traumatized ever since! 😱😳 I may be open to it if it‘s not too scary! #imabigbaby 7y

bookandbedandtea @TrishB @Cinfhen I was on a business call and didn't realize it at first, then was pretty annoyed at myself! But I decided to keep it. Maybe, if it's the one, reading it with a group will make it easier. 7y

bookandbedandtea @ElishaLovesBooks Same! I read something when I was a teen (blocked the name due to trauma I guess! Or maybe because it was so long ago! 🤔) then couldn't sleep for days. #scaredycatsunite 7y

asiriusreader Awesome, I‘m in!! 7y

ValerieAndBooks Maybe something by V.C. Andrews? I remember her being popular during the 1980s! 7y
