📖 The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Read for: A house you’ll visualize and never want to step foot in; masterful mounting tension; clever and entertaining writing.
* Also: The Lottery
📖 The Children on the Hill by Jennifer McMahon
(One of my favorite books)
Read for: suburb characterization; sisters you’ll never forget; a plot that will keep you guessing; brilliant genre crossover
📖 The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Read for: an ambiguous classic that will leave you unsure what you’re supposed to be afraid of
📖 Little Darlings by Melanie Golding
Read for: a dark Grimm’s style fairy tale that will keep you awake at night but also delighted in the details of fantastic storytelling
📖 Brother by Ania Ahlborn
*Note: This one is dark and trigger warnings abound- don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Read for: truly disturbing body horror that will both make your stomach turn and also break your heart; exploration of family trauma set against a dark backdrop that makes it tangible; proof that good writing can explore the darkness of humans in a meaningful way
📖 Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix
Read for: comedic and satirical horror that is ridiculous and yet engaging; horror that won’t keep you up at night; a clever structure that will make you laugh
📖 How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
Read for: Grady Hendrix at his unhinged best; an absurd mix of slasher, psychological, and paranormal horror that somehow works; puppets that you’ll love to hate
📖 The Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard
Read for: a thriller that crosses into horror with its darkness and dread; time spent in the mind of a killer that you’ll hate but not regret; quality writing is also page turning
📖 Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge
(My favorite manga)
Read for: manga in its horror form-explore two birds with one stone; stellar characterization and a main character you’re sure to love; a classic good versus evil tale
📖 The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Read for: classic psychological horror that will make you both rage and crawl out of your skin
