Reply to I read 13 horror novels for the month of October, and here is a short pitch for each to see if you should read one! by CasualTotoro

Just FYI, because of the way reddit's formatting system works, all your list numbers are showing up as "1." If you just go through and change the periods after each number to, say, a close-parenthesis, they'll show up like you intended (doing this, you'll lose the automatic indentation, but I think that's an acceptable trade-off):

Anyway, let's begin.

  1. The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

Want a traditional Slasher mixed with a supernatural Elk Monster? Then look no further. The Only Good Indians also does the troupe of "ancestral revenge" really well. There is a lot about the life of an Indian, and what it means to grow up on a reservation, providing insight into culture while being scared. There is a lot of basketball.

  1. Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

The first on this list I would call Comedy Horror. This is a campy novel, as Grady Hendrix can be a campy author. It is a wonderful take on the Haunted House stereotype done with the scariest of all things... retail! Run around following a fun main character trying to survive the night in an Ikea.

  1. Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon by Matt Dinniman

A Horror Lit-RPG, and a pillar in the genre. Extensive in length, this provides a very detailed and fleshed out world. This story mixes strife, loss, and suffering and blends them seemingly with giant monster battles, and otherworldy torture. This is not for the faint of heart, instead this is for anyone looking for a horrifyingly gross time.

...etc
