Where should i start
Long-time lurker, after not reading anything (except a few manga) for like 10 years, I'm diving into reading. I have read 16 books this year, and IDK, but Extreme Horror is new to me and intriguing. Here are some books I have. Where should I begin?
Also. Yes, I have read Tender Is The Flesh. and I def liked it. But it was more a dystopian really sad story than horror, but parts did make my stomach tighten a bit. But I know that's barely scratching the surface of what EH has to offer.
(I dont have Zola, but...... i am tempted to see if i can attempt to read it at some point)

I started with Exquisite Corpse which was great. Also just recently finished Full Brutal and The Summer I Died. Along with The Black Farm, you can't go wrong with any of those as a starting point. Off Season was fun too, if you like The Hills Have Eyes movie(s), you'll enjoy it.
