Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

Location: Seattle		Hello. I am looking for some haunted house stories, and these ones are missing:
The Apartment by S.L. Grey (aka Sarah Lotz and Louis Greenberg)
Bliss House Trilogy by Laura Benedict (Bliss House, Charlotte's Story and The Abandoned Heart)
The House on Cold Hill by Peter James
This House Is Haunted by John Boyne
The House of Lost Souls by F.G. Cottam
The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons
The Sentinel by Jeffrey Konvitz

It would be great if these could be added. Thanks!

Also, these

After the Flare by Deji Bryce Olukotun
Release by Patrick Ness


Olukotun is in.

Release seemed not at all in our wheelhouse. There was nothing in in it's synopsis or the categories of it's amazon ranking which indicated to me we should include it.

I think it was the ghost out for revenge that lead me to believe it would fit here. The description of the book from Patrick Ness' website says:

Its Saturday, its summer and, although he doesnt know it yet, everything in Adam Thorns life is going to fall apart. But maybe, just maybe, he'll find freedom from the release. Time is running out though, because way across town, a ghost has risen from the lake...

Also, on Goodreads most people reading it are categorising it under such things as: Magical-Realism, Fantasy, and Ghosts.

Nice list!

I really loved the John Boyne, a sublime haunted house novel.
And also dug the Peter James, in a trashy way.

I did read the Grey and the Siddons but didn't really do much for me.

Though, I'd be very interested in your other haunted house reading. I think you must have pretty good taste in that area.

And maybe this one, if you think it fits: An Excess Male by Maggie Shen King



It's in.

As a book in the vein of The Handmaid's Tale, it's a no brainer. It sounds like these two should sit side by side on the shelf.

These two are in. And as a bonus, the 2nd book in Barker's trilogy, as well.

It's already in.

Also, in regards to your request for these four series, Necroscope, Titus Crow, Oron, and Red Sonia, since it's more involved to add series that have multiple titles like these, they'll be added at our leisure.

Release by Patrick Ness



I relooked at this book, going to the author's web site and what not. A ghost out for revenge? The goodreads categories I see are GLB, contemporary, young adult. It's like we're looking at different books, but not. Very strange. Anyway....

If this is like Hamlet's father, a ghost that has a role to play and lines to speak, then, fine. Sure.
But if it's like mentioning a ghost as casually as one mentions that person on the street corner, as a back ground detail of the narrative structure. and little else, then I'd say, does it really fit any of our categories? Doubtful, to my mind at least. Give it a read and shoot me an email. If you still think it does fit with what we're doing, It'll get added.

Hi

I would like to get The Boys Are Back In Town by Christopher Golden added.

Also, Substrate Phantoms by Jessica Reisman if possible. I don't know the publisher, Arche Press, so I am not sure if they are legit for this database or not.

Thank you

It and it's sequel are now in. What is it with British authors and comic writing? Rankin, Pratchett, Adams, just to name three off the top of my head - in this era.
