Hello everyone! I’ve unfortunately been in a bit of a reading slump for the past few weeks, so I‘m hoping I can get some recommendations to help pull me out of it. To get an idea of my taste, I’m going to briefly go over a few of my favorite things in horror + the books I’ve read so far and what I rated them.
My favorite subgenres in horror tend to be slasher and paranormal, and a lot of my favorite movies and books have a very similar vibe. Southern/rural horror, small/abandoned towns, creepy hillbillies, murder families and things like that. (Think Brother). Recommendations absolutely don’t need to fit this, I’m pretty much willing to try anything if it seems interesting enough, but I wanted to mention it because I’m always looking for some Texas Chainsaw-esque books but haven’t found many so far.
(Note: I am not comfortable with extreme horror/splatterpunk and will not read it. So please do not recommend anything that fits into that genre.)
Now onto my reads + ratings.
5 stars: Brother by Ania Ahlborn, I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
4 stars: Horrorstor and How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
3 stars: The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, Doll Bones by Holly Black
