Recs if you like John Dies at the End (John Dies at the End, #1)...

The SCP is an organization that Secures, Contains, and Protects our world against anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. Be advised: these books contain such SCPs that have escaped confinement and have caused havoc and destruction. Read at your own peril. And remember to document your findings.

Sometimes we just need a little humor alongside our nightmares. Here are some Comedy Horror books to give you a good laugh and scare at the same time.

*Suggestions welcome!

Hello! My name is John / Jon / Jonny / Jonathan! This list contains books that feature a main or semi-important character with a variant of the name John.

As always, open to suggestions!

my favorite genre. elvia wilk’s essay is the best on what this genre is, but here’s an excerpt: “Weird knowledge does not deny the capacity of the human mind and body to produce knowledge, but it does not reduce the world to human subject experience either. Unlike science fiction—in which there is a rational explanation for everything—and fantasy—where magic explains it all—weirdness hovers between poles of explainability.”

I want to up my horror comedy literary game, given I will always think of Shaun of the Dead first. Here's what y'all told me to read.

Books in the horror comedy subgenre!

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months - please send recs

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. Updates once a month.

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

if you’re craving something that feels like the next martha’s vineyard (iykyk)! books that evoke the same feeling as the magnificent tv show ‘widows bay’

Novels with intriguing titles (that I read or that sound interesting) in English (either originally or translated); a mix of genres. Mostly 4+ words in the title, with some select 3-word-titles but no shorter ones. No parts of series except for the first book.

Inspired by our fave chaotic show! Romance stories paired with hunting the supernatural and/or with MMC’s inspired by or similar to Dean/Sam.

Full disclosure, most of these books are a compilation of recs, so I haven’t read them all myself!

Horror novels or story collections that started as creepypastas or something creepypasta-adjacent

List is in progress and taking recommendations!

Maybe they found a decomposing skull and described it in juicy detail and then the protagonist fires off a “guess he lost his head.” That kinda vibe.

A Reading List for the Chronically Unserious

Horror books with silly, fun, or unique plots. I'd love recommendations!

Silly titles for great reads

I’m insanely obsessed with Widow’s Bay and I want to read some books with similar vibes once the season is over, so I figured I’d make this list! The books listed are recommendations I’ve gathered from Instagram, Reddit, etc, but I’d love some more recommendations!

All books read by Tough Guy Book Club since 2014. The club that wants men to Read More, Talk More, and have more Friends.

Books to read while working at summer camp- an escape, a reflection, or anything in between! Mostly compiled from other camp staff suggestions, but feel free to suggest anything!
