darchildreHello friends! Would you like to recommend me a horror novel to read?
I just finished The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. Mr Tremblay is a compelling writer and I know that many people enjoy his work very much but I hated almost the entire book - I think I kept reading out of spite, more than anything else. Because he gets generally good reviews in horror circles, I had hoped that my extremely similar reaction to his Head Full of Ghosts was due to the fact that I tend to dislike possession horror a lot, but no. I just dislike his books.
Anyway. I want to read a different horror novel to get the taste out of my mouth, but cannot settle on anything. Would any of you like to suggest one?

Date: 2019-07-26 07:47 am (UTC)One of my favorite Douglas Clegg books is The Hour Before Dark. It's more psychological horror with supernatural elements than anything else (IIRC, I haven't read it in a while).
Another horror book I have but haven't read yet is The Ruins by Scott Smith. This one looks to be ecohorror!
