“There’s nothing quite like summer to make me long for horror fiction” writes Danielle Trussoni, in introducing great reads in the horror genre for the\u00a0New York Times<\/em> for\u00a0summer 2019.\u00a0 It’s an interesting list. Of the eight books, five have been published since April, three nominees on this year’s final ballot for the Stoker Award are included, two are reprints from Grady Hendrix’s Paperbacks in Hell imprint, which is a new imprint that reprints older, out-of-print titles, one is an anthology, and one is a translation from French to English. There are a couple by women, which is nice, since they have often been underrepresented. I’ve provided links to reviews for the books we have already reviewed. Take a look and see what appeals for your next vacation read!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Hunger<\/em> by Alma Katsu (2018, nominee for the 2019 Bram Stoker Award, reviewed here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Douglas (April 2019, reprint from the Paperbacks in Hell imprint) The original 1987 novel is reviewed here.<\/a>\u00a0Side note: unless you are a real thrill-seeker, this might not be the best choice for your island vacation. However, my husband saw\u00a0Jaws<\/em> just before a day of scuba diving, so I know it’ll be a perfect beach read for some of you…<\/p>\n

When Darkness Loves Us<\/em> by Elizabeth Engstrom ( May 2019, also a reprint from Paperbacks in Hell. We reviewed the 2009 book\u00a0here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
