I loved We Have Always Lived in the Castle. I didn’t realize it was considered horror but I guess I can kinda see it. I’ll check out what else she has. ?

Anything by Paul Tremblay.
Listen to the Books in the Freezer podcast. It’s all about horror fiction and King is mentioned but not prevalent. They discuss lots of current books.

What makes John Saul’s books scary is the fact that they could really happen.
