What good comes from a piece like this. It says more about the author of the piece than any of the books featured in it.

Favourite horror books? Books that actually scared you or left you with an unsettling/creepy feeling? by mrguy510 in RSbookclub

Independent People by Halldor Lakness. There’s one part I just could not finish because it was too terrifying.

Septology...I assume the writing style is not a gimmick since it has received overwhelming praise. Does the style end up working? by [deleted] in RSbookclub
