Hey everyone!
I’m looking for book recommendations with that intense, paranoid horror/thriller vibe — something where you’re not sure if someone is actually an alien, a witch, a vampire, a monster, etc., or if they’re hiding something strange and inhuman.
I recently came across the movie “Bugonia” (haven’t seen it yet, so please no spoilers!), but I love the idea — someone thinking another person might not be human, maybe even doing something extreme because of it. That mix of mystery, horror, and tension is exactly what I’m after.
Important note: I’m not looking for stories where it all turns out to just be hallucinations, delusions, or mental illness in the end. I want the kind of book where the mystery stays real or at least ambiguous — like there really could be something supernatural or otherworldly going on.
Any suggestions for books like that? Horror, thriller, or even sci-fi with a dark edge would all be great.
Thanks in advance
