Mystery

[close] Our book club has a varied and eclectic taste, enjoying a mix of psychological thrillers, fantasy, dystopian fiction, and contemporary literature. We delve into complex narratives and appreciate strong character development and intricate plots. Our members are drawn to both popular bestsellers and critically acclaimed novels, ensuring lively discussions. Our selections include themes of suspense, romance, societal critique, and empowerment. The diverse genres and styles of our chosen books foster a rich and engaging reading experience for all of our members.

[close] This group is dedicated to an appreciation of important works of literature, both classic and contemporary... that happen to fall into the category of Dark Fiction. We tend to avoid the big, banal blockbusters (and the more lurid fare) in favor of beautifully written explorations of the unknown, many of them obscure, all of them extraordinary. [Note from the Moderator: A couple of years ago, we changed our group name from "Literary Horror" in order to expand our sphere of interests (and dislodge a few embedded trolls). Our enthusiasms embrace Gothic, Weird Fiction, and Noir, as well as much that might be classified as Horror, but we also appreciate literary fiction that cannot be easily fitted into a marketing niche. In fact, this latter group of titles has evolved into our primary focus. Most serious fiction deals (to some extent) with darker themes, and many works of distinction have employed supernatural, surreal or existentialist elements. These books have power. They endure, because they appeal to serious readers and provide thoughtful entertainment. Come. Explore them with us.]
