~Janet McNulty, excerpt from Solaris SeethesBooks and stories provide wonderful knowledge and lessons, but I must agree with my father that experience garners wisdom.

What exactly do you mean by horror fantasy? Do you just mean horror with supernatural elements, or something else?SeraphineYuiki wrote: ↑20 Jun 2022, 04:41 I enjoyed books like Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess by Dan E. Hendrickson, Solaris Seethes by Janet McNulty, and End of the Last Great Kingdom by Victor Rose. I really enjoy fantasy being involved in my readings, but I haven't found a horror fantasy book or book series that really makes you shiver in your bones. The closest I have gotten is the Dreamdark series by Laini Taylor and it was more dark-themed than horror.

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I did mean something different but I love horror with supernatural elements. I guess it's more like having a fantasy world that has horror elements. Maybe like if a world with magic had horrific elements to it.Gravy wrote: ↑24 Jun 2022, 20:34What exactly do you mean by horror fantasy?

The only thing I can think of is HP Lovecraft. He wrote Eldritch Horror, which I would classify as a mix between fantasy and horror with a bit of cosmic influence.SeraphineYuiki wrote: ↑20 Jun 2022, 04:41 I enjoyed books like Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess by Dan E.

For me the original Star Wars books, now called legacy books I think, are amazing sci-fi there is so many of them around 150 I believe. If you love sci-fi then they are well worth checking out. With the amount of books there is it can be daunting to know where to start. If you're interested let me know and I will write out a little guide of where I would recommend starting from.Anastasia_Atkinson wrote: ↑20 Jun 2022, 04:41 I enjoyed books like Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess by Dan E.

And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare
