If you want to actually feel afraid, then read The Grip of It by Jac Jemc. That' light your spine on fire.

100pgs in and Fracassi has a really good thing going on here.

So I think I read about this on Reddit and reluctantly tried it out (I’m a little snobby about writers and the author’s bio as a ren fair actor was a big red flag) and I’m a huge, huge fan.  
 

 

It’s basically a Ridley Scott film made into a book with heavy theological horror (very Catholic) and very well placed in history (post battle of a Crecy and during the plagues).  I would think anyone that enjoys Game of Thrones but would something more in the horror genre would enjoy it.

So I just finished this one, same author:

 

The set up is fantastic-American couple buys an old house in a small, Sicilian mountain town with the intention of making a semi-permanent move.  Unbeknownst to them, the house was previously owned by the Catholic Church and who had used it for predictable reasons.  
 

Unfortunately, that’s about as far as I can recommend it.  It might be that I’m just spoiled by better writers, but the dialogue read like a high schoolers attempt at his first book; unlikeable protagonists, plot holes galore and the mythology goes mostly unexplored (and not in a good, “it’s better left to the imagination” way).  
 

That said, it’s the kind of book that could adapt easily to film and there would be the opportunity to correct most of the weaknesses.  It also wouldn’t shock me if started out as a screenplay.

Had anyone read "We Used to Live Here"?

From what I've heard, aside from it being extremely creepy I'm gonna need a flowchart to keep things straight.

I just finished Brother by Ania Ahlborn. 

This book got a lot of hype in social media. It was okay. I guess I was expecting a lot more. It's got a good plot that keeps you turning pages, the writing is okay but the character development could have been better.

It's about a Texas Chainsaw Massacre-type family in Appalachia, told from the perspective of the family members, two of the brothers in particular. One of the brothers isn't particularly jazzed about the family "hobby" of killing and dismembering women, and the other brother is a pure psychopath.

A lot of the gore happens off screen, so to speak or is alluded to you so it's not particularly gory although there's some of that.

The atmosphere is totally bleak. 

Spoiler

There is a twist toward the end that is so incredibly obvious that anyone of average intelligence or above will be able to guess it.
