Sorry, did't see your post.
I'm seconding Frankenstein and Storm Front, and I don't think the latter (Storm Front) is an horror novel.

Because I'd like to discuss it with you.

i think that your 'does not qualify exactly' statement is pointing out a fallacy (can't think of a better word right now) in our human need to classify things. taken on its prime elments, the dresden files series of novels can be easily classified in crime, mystery, fantasy, horror and even romance (well, not so much).
I was talking about the first novel, not the whole series (I'm on the 11th in a row, BTW...).
There are certainly some classic horror elements, but IMHO, the main purpose of the book is not to "chill and thrill", ina "horror labeled" kind of way...
But, hey: let's vote for it and discuss it! I'm sure it's worth it!



The entire "labeling" theme is a good topic...
For example: Shakespeare's Hamlet, with its ghost haunted castle, would qualify in this month's list?

Woops! Too bad, I'd never heard of it before but it caught my attention in a "best of horror" list I was looking at and it sounded pretty interesting. Now I'll have to figure out how to use my last vote...

I started an all things Dresden thread, a few days ago, here in the RR section, for those of you who are interested.

Unfortunately, I can not figure out how to link to it using my phone...but I just posted to it so it should be towards the top of the list.

Hope to see you there.

All we need are two more nods to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to get it to the vote. I know you can do it.

But the original is a self-contained novel so the sequels aren't necessary to the story.
Please let's not vote in another eBook in a series where the series in incomplete as eBooks. Anno Dracula is out as an eBook, but #2 & #3 are not. This is not good. If we then want to continue the series, we have to go pBook without a choice. Please can you withdraw the original nomination?
