January 2020 LOHF Readalong Selection

The Ladies of Horror Fiction readalongs are now taking place in our Ladies of Horror Fiction Goodreads group.

Each month the Ladies of Horror Fiction team choose ten titles. We choose these titles based on affordability and availability. We are not affiliated with any publisher, promoter, or author. Books are chosen from a range of titles that we feel will appeal to the community. We then create a poll that allows the community to vote on the title they would most enjoy reading. The poll runs for several days on or around the 15th of each month. In the event of a tie we may choose to create a tie-breaker poll with the 3 top books in lieu of managing two ongoing discussions. The book that gets the most votes from the community will be up for discussion at the beginning of the next month.

We’d love for everyone to join in the discussions!

For the month of January, the group selected The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher!

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

When a young woman clears out her deceased grandmother’s home in rural North Carolina, she finds long-hidden secrets about a strange colony of beings in the woods.

When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother’s house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be?

Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more—Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants…until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.

Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrors—because sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they’re looking for you. And if she doesn’t face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale.

From Hugo Award–winning author Ursula Vernon, writing as T. Kingfisher.


The Twisted Ones would be the perfect pick for our #LadiesFirst20 challenge as well! Will you be reading The Twisted Ones with us in January? Let us know in the comments!

What We're Reading #32

Everyone should take a few moments to treat themselves to some terrific new books! Here are a few recommendations to get you started:

Dear Laura by Gemma Amor

Dear Laura by Gemma Amor

Every year, on her birthday, Laura gets a letter from a stranger. That stranger claims to know the whereabouts of her missing friend Bobby, but there’s a catch: he’ll only tell her what he knows in exchange for something…personal.So begins Laura’s sordid relationship with her new penpal, built on a foundation of quid pro quo. Her quest for closure will push her to bizarre acts of humiliation and harm, yet no matter how hard she tries, she cannot escape her correspondent’s demands. The letters keep coming, and as time passes, they have a profound effect on Laura.From the author of Cruel Works of Nature comes a dark and twisted tale about obsession, guilt, and how far a person will go to put her ghosts to bed. 

Goodreads | Amazon

Jen’s Teaser Review

This was a fun novella to read. I think this is my first time to read Gemma Amor so I was glad to be picking up something by her. Her writing was compelling, and I flew through Dear Laura in one sitting.

Read Jen’s entire review at Book Den.

Now You're One of Us

Now You’re One of Us by Asa Nonami

In the tradition of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca and Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby, here is a new classic about the bride who’s no longer sure what to think. All families have their own rituals, secrets, and credos, like a miniature religious cult; these quirks may elicit the mirth or mild alarm of guests, but the matter is rather more serious if you’re marrying into a household. If its’s a Japanese one with a history, the brace yourself: some surprising truths lurk around the corner.

Goodreads | Amazon

Toni’s Teaser Review

I loved the dreamlike quality that Nonami interjects into this story. Reading this story was like walking around without the right amount of sleep. The story is a slow burn. It starts out innocently enough but it progresses to all out craziness. 

Read Toni’s entire review at The Misadventures of a Reader.

Reception by Kenzie Jennings Book Cover

Reception by Kenzie Jennings

While her rehab counselor’s advice replays in her mind, Ansley Boone takes on the role of dutiful bridesmaid in her little sister’s wedding at an isolated resort in the middle of hill country, a place where cell reception is virtually nonexistent and everyone else there seems a stranger primed to spring. Tensions are already high between the Boones and their withdrawal suffering eldest, who has since become the family embarrassment, but when the wedding reception takes a vicious turn, Ansley and her sister must work together to fight for survival and escape the resort before the groom’s cannibalistic family adds them to the post wedding menu. 

Goodreads | Amazon

Tracy’s Teaser Review

I was hooked from the middle, beginning, and through on to the finish point. Oh, and that ending? Well, let’s just say, I was taken aback. Wow. I am still not quite sure how I feel about it. Only life stopped me from devouring (wink wink) this book in one sitting.

What We're Reading #31

Here’s our latest round-up of recent reads. We hope you find something to add to your reading list!

The Vegetarian by Han King book cover

The Vegetarian by Han King

Before the nightmare, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary life. But when splintering, blood-soaked images start haunting her thoughts, Yeong-hye decides to purge her mind and renounce eating meat. In a country where societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye’s decision to embrace a more “plant-like” existence is a shocking act of subversion. And as her passive rebellion manifests in ever more extreme and frightening forms, scandal, abuse, and estrangement begin to send Yeong-hye spiraling deep into the spaces of her fantasy. In a complete metamorphosis of both mind and body, her now dangerous endeavor will take Yeong-hye—impossibly, ecstatically, tragically—far from her once-known self altogether.

Goodreads | Amazon

Jen’s Teaser Review

I found the writing to be very compelling. I’m glad I read it despite it’s oddities.

Read Jen’s entire review at Book Den.

The Toll by Cherie Priest Book Cover

The Toll by Cherie Priest

From Cherie Priest, the author of The Family Plot and Maplecroft, comes The Toll, a tense, dark, and scary treat for modern fans of the traditionally strange and macabre.

State Road 177 runs along the Suwannee River, between Fargo, Georgia, and the Okefenokee Swamp. Drive that route from east to west, and you’ll cross six bridges. Take it from west to east, and you might find seven.

But you’d better hope not.

Titus and Davina Bell leave their hotel in Fargo for a second honeymoon canoeing the Okefenokee Swamp. But shortly before they reach their destination, they draw up to a halt at the edge of a rickety bridge with old stone pilings, with room for only one car . . .

When, much later, a tow-truck arrives, the driver finds Titus lying in the middle of the road, but Davina is nowhere to be found.

Goodreads | Amazon

Toni’s Teaser Review

I love fairytales. Some of my favorites are about trolls that live under a bridge that won’t let you pass until you pay a toll. Once that toll is paid you are allowed to pass. The Toll is slightly like that but with swamp witches and monsters. When I won The Toll I was super excited. However, this isn’t your grandmother’s fairytale.

Read Toni’s entire review at The Misadventures Of A Reader.

Invisible Chains by Michelle Renee Lane

Jacqueline is a young Creole slave in antebellum New Orleans. An unusual stranger who has haunted her dreams since childhood comes to stay as a guest in her master’s house. Soon after his arrival, members of the household die mysteriously, and Jacqueline is suspected of murder. Despite her fear of the stranger, Jacqueline befriends him and he helps her escape. While running from the slave catchers, they meet conjurers, a loup-garou, and a traveling circus of supernatural freaks. She relies on ancestral magic to guide her and finds strength to conquer her fears on her journey.

If historical, southern, horror-ish fiction is your jam, you’ll love this.

Haunted Nights Book Cover

Haunted Nights edited by Ellen Datlow & Lisa Morton

Sixteen never-before-published chilling tales that explore every aspect of our darkest holiday, Halloween, co-edited by Ellen Datlow, one of the most successful and respected genre editors, and Lisa Morton, a leading authority on Halloween.

In addition to stories about scheming jack-o’-lanterns, vengeful ghosts, otherworldly changelings, disturbingly realistic haunted attractions, masks that cover terrifying faces, murderous urban legends, parties gone bad, cult Halloween movies, and trick or treating in the future, Haunted Nights also offers terrifying and mind-bending explorations of related holidays like All Souls’ Day, Dia de los Muertos, and Devil’s Night.

Goodreads | Amazon

Audra’s Teaser Review

Each story in this collection has a unique take on All Hallows’ Eve, from expanding on traditional folklore to fresh new horrors of kinds unimaginable to those reminiscent of childhood Halloween frights!

Read Audra’s entire review at Goodreads.

To Be Devoured

To Be Devoured by Sara Tantlinger

What does carrion taste like? Andi has to know. The vultures circling outside her home taunt and invite her to come understand the secrets hiding in their banquet of decay. Fascination morphs into an obsessive need to know what the vultures know. Andi turns to Dr. Fawning, but even the therapist cannot help her comprehend the secrets she’s buried beneath anger-induced blackouts.

Her girlfriend, Luna, tries to help Andi battle her inner darkness and infatuation with the vultures. However, the desire to taste dead flesh, to stitch together wings of her own and become one with the flock sends Andi down a twisted, unforgivable path. Once she understands the secrets the vultures conceal, she must decide between abandoning the birds of prey or risk turning her loved ones into nothing more than meals to be devoured. 

Goodreads | Amazon

Jen’s Teaser Review

If you are a squeamish reader or hate gore of any kind, move along. If you love to be pulled in and disturbed to your core, lay down your money on this one.

Read Jen’s entire review at Book Den.

Little Paranoias by Sonora Taylor

Is it a knock on the door, or a gust of wind? A trick of the light, or someone who’ll see what you’ve done?

Little Paranoias features twenty tales of the little things that drive our deepest fears. It tells the stories of terror and sorrow, lust at the end of the world and death as an unwanted second chance. It dives into the darkest corners of the minds of men, women, and children. It wanders into the forest and touches every corner of the capital. Everyone has something to fear — but after all, it’s those little paranoias that drive our day-to-day.

Goodreads | Amazon

Laurie’s Teaser Review

Holding them all together is a writhing darkness whether it is an external force or one more intimate. At any rate, each tale bleeds black and it will make any dark fiction fan very happy.

Read Laurie’s entire review at Bark At The Ghouls.

Jen’s Teaser Review

One thing I really loved about this collection was the varying lengths of all of the stories. From flash fiction to poetry to longer stories, it never felt repetitive, and I never got bogged down. I have a hard time sitting down with a collection or an anthology and reading it straight through. I didn’t have that trouble at all with Little Paranoias. Each of the stories held on to my attention, and I flew through the collection.

Shelf Edition: Author Sarah Read

Our December guest for Shelf Edition is one of our favorite Ladies of Horror Fiction authors, Sarah Read! Sarah is an author and librarian.

Sarah Read's Books

Do you have any recent favorite LOHF books? 

So many! Of course The Rust Maidens by Gwendolyn Kiste, because of course. Sara Tantlinger’s The Devil’s Dreamland and To Be Devoured were both incredible. Julie C Day’s The Rampant was also gorgeously dark. Alma Katsu’s The Hunger ticked all my horror and history-loving boxes. Danielle Kaheaku’s In Extremis was beautiful and full of dread. And Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage was one of my favorite reads last year.

Sarah Read's Bookshelf #2

What LOHF books do you have on your TBR?

Probably a thousand! But a few of them are: In Dreams We Rot by Betty Rocksteady, The Deep by Alma Katsu, Catfish Lullaby by A.C. Wise, The Apocalyptic Mannequin by Stephanie M. Wytovitch, The Near Witch by V. E. Schwab, Monster She Wrote by Lisa Kroger and Melanie R. Anderson. Also the book that Lisa Morton is currently working on, which likely won’t be out for quite a while but I’m already antsy for it. Gemma Files just announced a few new book deals. I’ll be metaphorically camping out on the publisher’s sidewalk for those. There are so many more, and I feel bad for leaving them off the list. Suffice to say that there are more than I can conceivably read in my lifetime. Part of me is delighted that I’ll always have something exciting to read. Part of me is furious that I’ll miss so much.

Sarah Read's Books

Where do you shop for books? 

I get 75% of my books from my library, and most of the rest directly from author and publisher friends. If I fall in love with a library book, I’ll pick up a copy at the Barnes & Noble where I work. I try to buy directly from the publisher when I can, though.

Sarah Read's Library

Are there any upcoming LOHF releases you’re excited about? 

Oh, whoops, I answered this in the second question! Short version: yes, all of them.

Sarah Read's Book Shelf #5

Can you tell us anything about your own new or upcoming releases?

My debut novel, The Bone Weaver’s Orchard, was released in February. An anthology I edited called Gorgon: Stories of Emergence also came out in February. By the time you read this, my debut short story collection, Out of Water, will be out and wild in the world! I also have new short stories in volumes 71 and 72 of Black Static, my favorite horror magazine. I threw everything I had into the world this year. Next year will likely be quiet while I refill the writing coffers.

Thank you for joining us, Sarah! Our tbr piles also thank you! If you would like to be featured on a future shelf edition please leave a note in the comments. We’d love to see your shelves!

What We're Reading #29

We took a little break from our review round-up last week in order to celebrate the holiday but we’re back with more must-reads for your tbr!

The Dead Girls Club by Damien Angelica Walters

A supernatural thriller in the vein of A Head Full of Ghosts about two young girls, a scary story that becomes far too real, and the tragic–and terrifying–consequences that follow one of them into adulthood.

Red Lady, Red Lady, show us your face…

In 1991, Heather Cole and her friends were members of the Dead Girls Club. Obsessed with the macabre, the girls exchanged stories about serial killers and imaginary monsters, like the Red Lady, the spirit of a vengeful witch killed centuries before. Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real–and she could prove it.

That belief got Becca killed.

It’s been nearly thirty years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night–that Becca was right and the Red Lady was real. She’s done her best to put that fateful summer, Becca, and the Red Lady, behind her. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn’t seen since the night Becca died.

The night Heather killed her.

Now, someone else knows what she did…and they’re determined to make Heather pay.

Goodreads | Amazon

Audra’s Teaser Review

Though it is about many things, at its heart, this is a book about friendship, and I loved the portrayal of the bond between Becca and Heather. It is beautiful but also heartbreaking, and their story encapsulates the divide between child and adult.

This book has some serious creep-factor too: if you are here for the thrills and chills, buckle in. With the pacing and mystery of a thriller and some excellent moments of horror, I think this book will appeal to fans of both genres.

Read Audra’s entire review at Goodreads.

Tracy’s Teaser Review

With well-crafted writing, believable characters, high stakes discovery, and a storyline that digs its claws in, DEAD GIRLS CLUB is a coming of age tale that makes us ponder truth and fiction, love and hatred.

Read Tracy’s entire review at Goodreads.

Emily’s Teaser Review

The Dead Girls Club is an upcoming thriller / horror coming-of-age novel. I loved the setup of this book – it’s about a group of girls growing up who get involved in a witchy story, and it switches back and forth between the main character in the present (as an adult) and past.

Read Emily’s entire review at Goodreads.

Rabbit Heart by Emily Deibler

Rabbit Heart by Emily Deibler

Rachel’s parents, Linda and Marcus, have their hobbies: reading Shakespeare, crocheting blankets, and killing people who trespass near their cabin in the North Georgia woods.

Being adopted by killers with a taste for cannibalism shouldn’t be the highlight of Rachel’s life, but for her, it’s a chance to heal and find the love she’s desperately craved. No one has empathized with her more than Linda and Marcus. After losing her biological parents when she was a child and enduring neglect and abuse, Rachel has a family again, and her new parents will go to extreme measures to protect her.

When a stranger connected to one of Marcus and Linda’s victims comes into her life, Rachel must juggle secrets that may lead to her undoing, and meanwhile, she has to decide whether she should save this new person at the risk of abandoning the only family she has—or lose what humanity she has left.

Goodreads | Amazon

Emily’s Teaser Review

Rabbit Heart is my introduction to Emily Deibler’s work, and this was a really interesting story. It’s well-written, and it goes pretty deep into how people aren’t just “good” or “bad”, but have a wide array of human emotions and actions.

Read Emily’s entire review at Goodreads.

Hex Life

Hex Life edited by Christopher Golden & Rachel Autumn Deering

Brand-new stories of witches and witchcraft written by popular female fantasy authors, including Kelley Armstrong, Rachel Caine and Sherrilyn Kenyon writing in their own bestselling universes!

These are tales of wickedness… stories of evil and cunning, written by today’s women you should fear. Includes tales from Kelley Armstong, Rachel Caine and Sherrilyn Kenyon, writing in their own bestselling universes.

Hex Life: Wicked New Tales of Witchery will take the classic tropes of tales of witchcraft and infuse them with fresh, feminist perspective and present-day concerns–even if they’re set in the past. These witches might be monstrous, or they might be heroes, depending on their own definitions. Even the kind hostess with the candy cottage thought of herself as the hero of her own story. After all, a woman’s gotta eat.

Bring out your dread.

Goodreads | Amazon

Toni’s Teaser Review

There were so many different takes on witches! There was a fairytale retelling which I enjoyed immensely and a take on Baba Yaga. I loved them all. I loved reading all the different takes on the witch theme.

Insolent by Cynthia A. Rodriguez

Insolent (Sinister Fairy Tales) by Cynthia A. Rodriguez

There’s a girl screaming at the top of a hill,
Burdened by a duty she was born to fulfill.
There’s a quiet killer lurking nearby,
Watching as she wishes only to die.
She’s tasked by her mother to marry a man,
Until the demon from hell puts a wrench in the plan.
Their fates will twine in inconceivable ways.
But where one goes, the other cannot stay.
How could she fall for such a man, you ask?
For the girl with no heart, it was the easiest task.

Guest Post

Guest Post: The Intimacy of Monsters By Hailey Piper
I adore cosmic horror, but it isn’t what I usually write.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve penned a couple, but I’m happier leaving that scale of world-ending dread to P.L. McMillan and Caitlin Kiernan.
