Book tastes

Supernatural horror books, eldritch horror or along those lines are a favourite. Folk horror, mysterious and creepy is also something I enjoy.
Comedy and Fantasy are usually safe bets if horror isn't your thing.

Don't get this!

Religious books or books with (real world) religious themes, erotica,

Secret Santa

affie's Secret Santa was witchescastle!

jburlinson: I think Blackwell's does not require the $6 shipping fee. So I calculate that the remainder to be spent is $12.23. So here's my suggestion:

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher. 9781803360072. $10.40 (Dec 5, 2023, 12:09am)
saroz: "Picnic at Hanging Rock" by Joan Lindsay is a very mysterious and creepy and oppressive classic. which I highly recommend. (Dec 4, 2023, 9:32pm)
Petroglyph: This won't fit in the santee's budget, but as a general recommendation I want to mention Claude Seignolle, a French author of folk-horror. Aliya Whiteley and Mariana EnrĂ­quez might be up affie's street as well (Dec 4, 2023, 6:23pm)
mookie86: I usually look for classics when a small balance is left. You can find good ones that a publishing house has printed in paperback for less than $7. (i.e. Frankenstein, Lovecraft for this person) (Dec 4, 2023, 5:48pm)
witchescastle: There is $6.18 left on the balance and I can't find anything for that amount, especially with the money conversion. Please let me know if you have a suggestion :) (Dec 3, 2023, 4:28pm)
MDGentleReader: The dragonbone chair is a book affie should borrow from me.

Don't Tell a Soul and The Sun Down Motel are highly rated horror books. (Nov 30, 2023, 10:28pm)
