Hello lit.

I've seen some recent interest in this genre (it's that season), so I'm considering kicking off a regular series of threads — primarily for horror fiction, but also open to related genres. Shout out to the one anon who suggested it.

I'm thinking:
• Horror (probably the biggest group)
• Weird
• Paranormal
• Occult
• Dark fantasy
• Gothic
• Mystery
• Noir and crime
• Thriller
• Psychological
• Surreal
• Existential
• etc.

I realize this is niche (even on a board that is considered a boondocks of a site that is a cesspool). I just want to get the ball rolling. I'll self-bump if I have to, oh yes, you'll see.

Also, what's a good umbrella term for this sort of fiction?

How do I get into Clive Barker?
I like his movies and the general tone a lot of his stuff seems to have.
I know movies are t the same but anyone got any advice.

Start with his short story collection, Books of Blood I (there are 6), contains both of this best 2 stories.

After that, read the novel The Hellbound Heart, which most of his fans seem to have started with

What this anon said. Then there's Imajica, but I didn't like it as much as his other stuff. It's more pure fantas than horror

Cool thread. I read a lot of horror in high school, but began to move away from the stuff afterwards. Been thinking about re-exploring the genre lately. I have Book of Blood, Ghost Stories of MR James, King in Yellow, and Horror Stories of Robert E Howard on my radar. Plan to reread some Poe and Lovecraft too.

I've always kind of considered Kafka a horror writer. Any other authors who don't explicitly write within the genre who nonetheless capture some of its essential elements you guys can think of?

What's your favorite Lovecraft?

I really like The Festival, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, and The Mound.
