It's been too long since I've read anything, but I do love horror books. My favorite horror book so far is Last Days by Adam Nevill. Almost put it down, it was that scary. In general, any horror books that are a must-read?

I've been reading T. Kingfisher lately and in absolutely in love. I picked up The Hollow Places thinking it would probably be a waste but it's become my favorite book. I've just started What Moves the Dead, and in already hooked, her descriptive ability is immaculate.

I would also recommend The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Sterling, Hide by Kiersten White, and Bunny by Mona Awad.

I couldn't find any of those books at my library but I did find Thorn Hedge by Kingfisher, and checked it out. It looks like a shorter read, so I also checked out Behold The Void by Philip Fracassi

@Brotha_Jaufrey Thornhedge is more on the fantasy side, though has some horrific elements. She writes both. @Postmortal_Pop
