Very fun! I need to read more horror. How many of these have you read?
ReplyDeleteI've read 5. (8 if you count the 3 I DNF'ed.) I'm in the middle of reading Strange Weather right now, too. I may do another post over what I've read before the results.
DeleteWow, grats to the nominees and the achievements. I want to check out Black Mad Wheel.

Me, too, but I still need to read Bird Box! O_O
DeleteI liked Ararat and Kill Creek is on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I never finished Ararat. :( It wasn't a bad book, it just lost out to other things I was reading, and I just never finished... I really should finish it.
DeleteThis is a great list! I'm sad to say I've only read a few of these, but I'll be rooting for Kill Creek for sure😁
ReplyDeleteNoooo, LOL. I actually haven't read Kill Creek, but I'm hoping to make that one of the ones I read really soon. I've heard such great things. In the Valley of the Sun was my favorite book of the year last year so it would be tough to oust that one for me. :)
DeleteI hope Split wins the Screenplay category. I thought it was awesome. And, James McAvoy did an amazing job! I loved how you could tell he changed personalities just by his demeanor. It was one of the best horror films/films I've seen in a long time.
ReplyDeleteHe was amazing in Split! That movie was so different from what I was expecting (in a great way).
DeleteIs it dad I haven't read any of these? I own quite a few though so I better get busy!
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting that you already own some. :)
DeleteI need to see The shape of Water. and several of these look really good- Ararat (which I wanted to get), Cold Cuts looks interesting, and so does Agents of dreamland. Plus I saw a good review for that one a week or so ago. I need to try some of these.
ReplyDeleteI still need to see The Shape of Water and Get Out!
DeleteI've got some reading to do!!
ReplyDeleteRight? It's a really great list this year.
DeleteI've only read three of those. I need to get a move on!
ReplyDeleteSo many books!! Why can't we just read them all?
DeleteSo many awesome books - I miss reading some horror so the finalists from Bram Stocker is definitely a great way to start. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYep! It's a great way to jump back in and see what you've been missing. :)
