TL;DR: Can you recommend some good YA horror from 2020-2025 that is both genuinely scary, and under 8 hours? I'd especially love to read some audiobooks with a full cast.
I've been feeling nostalgiac for junior high when I was reading a lot of RL Stines Fear Street and Christopher Pike's YA works, and so I decided to read the first Fear Street book and was surprised that I was able to sit and get immersed in it, and still find it genuinely scary. I loved it.
I'm currently reading the second Fear Street book, but it's got me curious for some recent stuff(somewhere around 2020-2025) that's also genuinely scary. Can you recommend anything?
-I'd love if there's a good audiobook with what you can recommend, especially if it's got a full cast. It's not a requirement, but it would be awesome.
-Please please take this part as a question, not a "I absolutely need this!" A problem I have with horror is that usually I need to read it in 1-3 days or I lose interest. Would asking for YA horror that's under 300 pages be reasonable? Ideally I'd prefer they be under 200 pages, but I imagine that would be unreasonable, although if by an author that is super super good at making you want to know what's going on and really really does a good job at making things interesting and compelling with every chapter like T. Kingfisher's A House With Good Bones. Although keep in mind I'm looking for YA Horror.
