Having said that - I wouldn't mind going non-public domain for Horror. Rosemary's Baby came up in nominations in 2011 and that would probably be a great Horror book to read with the group. Another great group read would be The Exorcist or even a classic King novel like Salem's Lot. If we ever get another Horror category I'll probably nominate and vote for books like this.
Poppy Z Brite has written some Gothic Horror that is quite incredible. I have Swamp Foetus, her short story collection--and it is not for the faint-hearted. She has most recently moved into {very} dark comedy.
