Hello dear readers, I’m on the hunt for book recommendations that will keep me awake for weeks, the kind that make every creak in the house suspicious and every shadow a bit too suspicious for comfort. The sort of books that might make me slightly regret having asked for them in the first place.
I’ve somehow never read any Stephen King, which I gather is practically the gold standard if one wishes to be thoroughly terrified, but where on earth should I start? And of course, if you have other authors or titles that specialise in ruining a good night’s sleep, I’m all ears.
