I am so excited to show you all this resource guide I came up with. I want to do genre specific resource guides so that everyone can use them to discover new books. The first one I picked was horror which is the one that I am by far the least experienced with reading. But, seeing as I've been searching out and reading more of this genre I thought I'd do myself the favor and start with this one. This is a basic guide for those who are new to horror or anyone who wants to discover more horror books.
This isn't a comprehensive list. It's what I could find and what appeals to me. I plan to add more in the future and if you have any suggestions let me know in the comments.

Goodreads
Goodreads has a ton of lists and readers of horror fiction. Once you find one book you can look at what the reviewers are reading/want to read. There are also horror lists you can find on there that have plenty of books you may have not heard of before.
Let me know what you think of this guide.
Is this perfect for the beginner or should I add more?
This is a great resource! I love the links to bloggers who focus on horror.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I found a couple more bloggers to add to the list. Hopefully, I can continue improving it as I get into horror.
