The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires

By: Grady Hendrix
Narrated by: Bahni Turpin
Length: 13 hours 48 minutes

“I don’t know about everyone else, but I, for one, am really excited that vampires are making a comeback. I think they’re such a fun trope in pretty much every genre, and this was no exception. True to the Grady Hendrix style, this book was the perfect campy, slightly off-kilter, and moderately gory suburban horror story I didn’t know I needed. Read more

Mexican Gothic

By: Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Narrated by: Frankie Corzo
Length: 10 hours 39 minutes

“Although Mexican Gothic begins in an unassuming Gothic way, with a psychotic cousin and a haunted house, the book slowly turns until you are completely snatched from reality and cannot put the book down. Until the end, I couldn’t figure out which of the creepy characters were trustworthy or even which scenes were reality. The atmosphere and... Read more

Cold

A Novel

By: Drew Hayden Taylor
Narrated by: Wesley French, Lawrence Bayne, Susan Roman, Jani Lauzon, Cara Gee, Mirphie Kinanga & Drew Hayden Taylor
Length: 10 hours 31 minutes

“Winter holds its own horrors for me (I am not a fan of cold weather), so in my opinion, it's the perfect season for reading horror, especially winter/cold-oriented stories. As the title may hint, this is indeed one of those. I was intrigued by the description of the book as both horror and comedy, a pairing that I don't always enjoy, but... Read more

How to Sell a Haunted House

By: Grady Hendrix
Narrated by: Jay Aaseng & Mikhaila Aaseng
Length: 12 hours 59 minutes

“This is a complicated family drama...with creepy puppets. In turns heartbreaking and terrifying, this just might be my favorite Hendrix novel yet! It managed to both give me nightmares and be a layered story about a dysfunctional family. This book peels back like an onion - you'll want to cringe and cry at the same time. Read more

The Only Good Indians

By: Stephen Graham Jones
Narrated by: Shaun Taylor-Corbett
Length: 9 hours 2 minutes

“The Only Good Indians was the book that got me into horror and, subsequently, helped me figure out what type of horror works for me. If there is one thing you need to know about this book, is that it goes from 0 to 100 in just a couple of chapters, and it will make you question if you understood well what just happened: and yes, you did. Take... Read more

Length: 9 hours 49 minutes

“I think my favorite part of this book was the interviews that would cut in between each chapter of the book to give more details on the "history" or "events" of the story. I felt like I was listening to NPR or reading from a non-fiction field guide. It's incredibly original, humorous, and terrifying. Read more
