So you can discuss your favorite Fantasy and Horror books. As well as trash talk about the authors and books of those genres you hate the most.
Truth be told, outside a few movies and shows I’m pretty much clueless about fantasy lit and still a novice on horror. So I’ll just 
and enjoy the comments.
Have fun!

O negócio é que todas as pessoas que eu conheço que curtem literatura brasileira (ou fizeram letras ou outro curso parecido) especificamente odeiam o Paulo Coelho, eu lembro do meme dele ser parte da ABL.

Eu só leio livros do finado professor Olavo de Carvalho. Agora que penso nisso, o nosso “Alex Jones” merece uma thread também.
@BWC, lembra do Olavo?

Horror is one of my favorite genres but it's hard to find good reads outside of like Stephen King's coke-era classics. I liked Heart Shape Box by Joe Hill but that's Stephen King's son so it's not exactly expanding horizons.

Regardless of literary criticism, it’s fair to say King had the biggest pop culture impact among American writers post 1950s. So many great adaptations and parodies. It will be hard to find another with the same impact after he’s gone.

I’ve been trying to find good fantasy settings besides medieval. I tried Clan of the Cave Bear for prehistoric times but it was so bad I couldn’t continue. I might try Beyond the Sea of Ice next, which apparently predates the former book. These books aren’t really high fantasy but I feel like there’s going to be some fantastical elements in any prehistoric fiction.
I like the idea of a largely unknown world, where magic is spiritual and people are afraid of the darkness beyond their local forest or coastline or whatever. One high fantasy trope I’m tired of is where the magic is quantified and scientifically understood. Like the writers wants to be doing X-Men comics or something.

Interesting, it does seems like the genre is saturated with medieval like stories (at least the most famous one’s)
That sounds very MCU like, HP is quite like that now that I think about it. Magic is used as a mundane tool, and they learn spells the same way someone learns a new recipe to cook, it’s not a mysterious thing.

I like Laird Barron's short story collections which are cosmic horror.
Occulation and Other Stories
The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All
The Imago Sequence
The Fisherman by John Langan (also cosmic horror)
Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman (medieval horror fantasy).
Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe (sci-fi fantasy)
Perdido Street Station by China Mieville (weird fiction)
If you liked the movie Bone Tomahawk check out the books by the director S Craig Zahler. Wraiths of the Broken Land and A Congregation of Jackals. It's more bleak western horror.

I've seen the Fisherman pop up on a few lists, I've been meaning to get around to it

I got bored of it. It seemed like a good book, but it’s pretty slow. Maybe I’ll give it another chance.

Women don't exist to please you. You do what you want, I'll do what I want. If I wanna go get tattoos, I'm going to whether you like it or not. Some of the sweetest and sexiest ladies I've met have full sleeves on both arms. If you dont like women with tattoos, then don't date a woman with tattoos. I don't see why this is such a big deal to people.

I read a short collection of Lovecraft's stories like a decade ago. It was the first and only time I felt a chill in my spine from reading a story
