I only went for 6 prompts because I know myself. I've finished 4:
ReplyDeleteA body of water (featured in story, on cover, or in title): The Ghost Pirates by William Hope Hodgson
Written by a woman: Into Bones like Oil by Kaaron Warren
Ghosts or spirits: A Thin Ghost and Others by M. R. James
Historical horror (must be an historical novel written by a contemporary author) Slewfoot by Brom
I'm half way through some Clive Barker for "best-selling author" and I have a good candidate for folk horror.
I've read Hodgson's "The House on the Borderland," and really enjoyed it. Did you like "The Ghost Pirates"?
DeleteI love Hodgson's work. I've read The House on the Borderland too. I recently finished a reread of Ronald Malfi's Bone White. I think it qualifies for the Folk Horror category.
DeleteI've completed 5 and am working on 6. That is probably as far as I will get but I do have books picked out for 4 more.

Gerald's Game
Sounds like an awesome group of books. How are you liking Gerald's Game?
DeleteI'm not loving it. It gets a bit too graphic and also repetitive. I've got 100 pages left and I started watching the Netflix movie last night. Didn't want to finish it before I finished the book though. lol
DeleteI still plan to read it. I liked the Netflix movie. Thought it was pretty damn creepy. lol
DeleteI've just been rolling along!
