I’ll Be Gone in the Dark (Michelle McNamara) – and I slept with a light on last night ?
I listened to it! So fricking scary…true crime is WAY more terrifying to me. I still love it. Don’t judge me.
NOS4R2
??
It’s a book. By Joe Hill. Stephens son.
It’s NOS4A2. And yeah it’s his son. Everything by Joe Hill is great. Heart Shaped Box is really good. You’ll love him. Echoes of his dad but his own fresh voice too.
NOS4A2 in US/Canada
NOS4R2 in UK
I also definitely recommend this one if you like King. I read it in April & could hardly put it down!!!
@Tracey you’re right about the UK spelling! I totally forgot!
Why the different spellings???
This !!!
Yep different spellings. Who knows why. I think it’s because of pronunciation.
The troop or little heaven by nick cutter

Amy Cross the Jack the ripper house series
CUTE
I liked The Death of Mrs Westaway. It’s not scary in the same way that Stephen King’s work is, but it was scary.
Chelsea Cain. Her books are terrifying. Start with the Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series. Heartsick is book #1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/657034.Heartsick?from_search=true
I was actually bored by this book
I havnt really found any of his books i didnt like
Paul Tremblay’s Head Full of Ghosts.
Check out this book on Goodreads: A Head Full of Ghosts http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23019294-a-head-full-of-ghosts
Good one. The ending I didnt understood it lol
@Henry The ending was a great twist.
Also The Deep by Nick Cutter is really good. Jae Mazer also writes great stuff!
Bird Box
I concur!
Yep!
Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood
I agree.
Yes to In Cold Blood.
Split M. Night Shyamalan
Ghost Story by Peter Straub is quite good.
Just picked up the haunting of the hill house by Shirley Jackson on very high recommendation from a friend
Good one.
Saloms Lot
Yes
Good Me, Bad Me.
Have you tried Dean Koontz?
You like apocalypse-y stuff? Bird box by malerman, black moon by Calhoun, Dog Stars by Heller have all made it into my thumbs up list this year 🙂
Bad Games or Wildlife by Jeff Menapace
Bird box was good
Bird Box, The Troop, anything by Joe Hill, House of Leaves, The Ruins.
The Ruins!!! By Scott someone! It’s so great. The writing is a little meh here and there but it’s super terrifying.
The Ruins! STILL one of the scariest books I’ve ever read!
Joe Hill. If you like King, you’ll like his son’s writing!
The Summer has Ended and We Are Not Yet Saved
I love Sara Gran’s Come Closer.
The Exorcist – great scare
The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes
Virgins and Martyrs by Simon Maginn; Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix
Cujo. It still scares me and I read it 30 years ago.
I’m reading Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill now and it’s pretty scary.. and disturbing lol
Amityville Horror
Bird Box by Josh Malerman is creepily good. The Road, The Girl with All the Gifts, The Stand, World War Z (the audiobook is amazing). I like dystopian stuff so Wool, The Dog Stars…
Everything’s Eventual
Stephen King ?? I loveeees 1408
Bird Box
House of Leaves is unsettling as hell. I also just discovered the author Ania Alborn. She’s awesome. I really enjoyed Within These Walls. Culty and messed up.
Adam Nevill is great — I especially recommend Last Days and The Ritual.
Anything by John Saul!
obsession by nora roberts
Bird Box.
HP Lovecraft. Not before you go to bed or you’ll sleep with the lights on.
Try Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough. You will remember that one always.
Dean Koontz
Brian Keene or Bentley Little
Any of Lisa Unger
