You can click here to see my post about it on the horror blog. Or, you can click on the titles below to access each on Goodreads where I have pulled out the pertinent information for each title and added my three words.
But first, please don't be scared by the "horror" label I have placed on these titles. I choose these books for this column ever year based on how widely appealing they are. These are books you can confidently suggest to a wide range of readers, even those who don't classify themselves as horror readers. They are not as firmly entrenched in the horror genre as you might think. And, I know for a fact that there are readers who don't see many of these are "horror" at all because they have told me as much.
Becky's Goodreads Reviews:
- The Honey Farm by Harriet Alida Lye [unreliable narrator, lyrical, scary]
- Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage [intense, alternating first person, constantly escalating]
- The Nightmare Room by Chris Sorensen [oppressive atmosphere, family secrets, perfectly paced]
- The Moore House by Tony Tremblay [flawed protagonists, violent, intense]
- The Rust Maidens by Gwendolyn Kiste [unsettlingly beautiful, two time frames, atmospheric ]
- The People's History of the Vampire Uprising by Raymond A. Villareal ["primary documents," thought provoking, methodically paced]
