This group is dedicated to an appreciation of important works of literature, both classic and contemporary... that happen to fall into the category of This group is dedicated to an appreciation of important works of literature, both classic and contemporary... that happen to fall into the category of Dark Fiction.

It's something we'll tell you all about on Faceboo Hi everyone, Join our Backlist of the Month discussions! What is Backlist of the month, you ask? It's something we'll tell you all about on Facebook and Twitter and then we'll have a chat and a cup of tea over here at Goodreads. Backlist of the Month is a book that was published back in the day (okay, the '90s) and maybe was forgotten about a little bit over the years, but still deserves an abundant amount of your love and affection. Once a week on Facebook and Twitter, we'll remind you how lovely it is through some old articles, brief interviews with staff about why they love it, and even a trivia game which might find the winner in possession of a brand new book. Ready, set, read! ...more
