Welcome to Foggy Book Club, a horror-nerd reading zone where the books are eerie, the vibes are strange, and the fog never really lifts. If you’re someone who still checks the horror section at every used bookstore, has a soft spot for mass market paperbacks with cracked spines and insane taglines, or just likes your fiction a little unhinged, you’re in the right place.
This isn’t a serious literary club. There won’t be reading quizzes. You don’t have to explain themes or bring wine (unless you want to — then please, yes). This is about reading weird, creepy, often-overlooked horror and horror-adjacent books together, one month at a time. I’ll be posting a new pick at the end of each month, so if you want to read along before I write about it, you’ll have time. Then I’ll drop a full post with my thoughts, favorite moments, weird tangents, and whatever else bubbles up.
Expect paperbacks from hell, giallo-inspired murder mysteries, witchy thrillers, small press oddities, vintage YA terror, horror memoirs, and anything else that feels like it belongs in a cursed library at the edge of a foggy town. Some months we’ll go deep. Some months we’ll keep it light and pulpy. No pressure, just pages.
If you’re a horror movie fan who doesn’t read a ton of horror books, this is a perfect way to dip your toe in. If you already have a bookshelf that’s 40% black covers and blood-dripping fonts, welcome home.
It’s not just about what we read, either — it’s about the vibe. Think late-night radio shows. Think scribbled marginalia. Think about that book you weren’t supposed to find at the school library, but it was there anyway. That’s Foggy Book Club.
First Pick Announcement: We’re kicking things off with Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare — a fast, brutal, and wildly fun slasher that feels like it was written for every Goosebumps kid who grew up but never stopped loving masked killers and mayhem. It’s sharp, bloody, and smarter than it has any right to be. Read it now, because I’ll be posting my full thoughts the first week of May — right before the movie adaptation drops on May 9th. Foggy Book Club is officially open. Let’s get weird.
