It’s been too long since I’ve read anything, but I do love horror books. My favorite horror book so far is Last Days by Adam Nevill. Almost put it down, it was that scary. In general, any horror books that are a must-read?
I’ve been reading T. Kingfisher lately and in absolutely in love. I picked up The Hollow Places thinking it would probably be a waste but it’s become my favorite book. I’ve just started What Moves the Dead, and in already hooked, her descriptive ability is immaculate.
I would also recommend The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Sterling, Hide by Kiersten White, and Bunny by Mona Awad.
The Hollow Places was excellent. Listened to the audiobook on a drive to a camping trip deep in the woods and it was the best worst vibe for the occasion.
I couldn’t find any of those books at my library but I did find Thorn Hedge by Kingfisher, and checked it out. It looks like a shorter read, so I also checked out Behold The Void by Philip Fracassi
@Brotha_Jaufrey Thornhedge is more on the fantasy side, though has some horrific elements. She writes both. @Postmortal_Pop
One of my favourite horror novels of the last decade is John Langan’s The Fisherman. He’s an absolutely fantastic writer.
The Keep by F Paul Wilson.
I like Stephen Graham Jones. “The Only Good Indians” had parts that I thought were disturbing.
Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle is a fav of mine.
Let’s go play at the Adams’ - I read it a year or so ago, still think about it on the regular.
If Eldritch Horror is even slightly your cup of tea, I highly recommend The Fisherman by John Langan. His short stories are also fun. Sefira and Other Betrayals, made me pleasantly upset at times.
Dark Matter is the scariest book I’ve ever read its brilliant
- Walking to Aldebaran by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a real gem (a short story)
- Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes
- Southern Reach series by Jeff VanderMeer is excellent
- The Talents Trilogy by J.M. Miro is pretty good horror in Victorian setting
- currently reading Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky, it’s a decent sci fi horror
