Venus in the Blind Spot by Junji Ito
•••
I found this manga collection to be so unnerving, I can’t even think of some of the art without shivering. Beautiful. Weird. And completely horrifying.

The Hunger by Alma Katsu
•••
Historical horror is often not scary to me but Alma Katsu does it in a way that breaks the mold. A supernatural version of the Donner Party? A thing that’s already very scary and now is even more scary?? I hate camping btw.

Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay
•••
Paul is a master and this book is one of my favorites. It’s that slow realization that people are horrible and can’t be trusted … or are they not? In every horror book, it’s the humans that can scare me the most and Paul knows how to craft an untrustworthy human.

Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
•••
This book builds. It starts with a town who has control of the local witch haunting it but then…it doesn’t. I had to read this during the day because I couldn’t deal.

My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
•••
This book got under my skin. It really captured to me the vulnerability of being a teenage girl and how that isolation can be be scary. I love Grady’s work but this will always be a favorite of mine.

The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer
•••
This is the scariest book I’ve read this year and maybe in the last 5 years. A caretaker gets a VHS tape with instructions on how to keep the “visitors” away. I had to read this with the lights on.
