short horror novella about a group of friends who decide to spend the night in an old Japanese mansion. Pretty creepy atmosphere and imagery. Overall a very enjoyable little novel that got me out of a slump after Christmas.

Some horror-y, some thriller-y, some ive rec’d elsewhere on here:
-the wasp factory, iain banks (!!)
-fever dream, Samanta schweblin (!!)
-I’m thinking of ending things, Iain reed
-out, natsuo kirino
-the faces, tove ditlevsen
-Eileen, otessa moshfegh
-we have always lived in the castle, Shirley jackson
None are too gory but i did find out and the wasp factory to be more disturbing personally.
theyre manga so not traditional novels, but I read through both Tomie and Uzumaki by junji ito a couple years back, and they’re deliciously creepy, scary, a little gross.

I got this book as a gift from a dear friend and went in not knowing much and its what kind of brought me back into really loving reading. idk if it counts as a short book but its definitely not long lol. I can only recommend it especially for people who enjoy reading classics and gothic literature

it’s a haunted house story told from the perspectives of a husband and wife dealing with a tough transition. it’s got this fascinating and unsettling mystery and the relationship between the couple is so well written. technically a horror novel but i’d say it’s more creepy than scary. definitely one of my favorites of all time!

My friend Liam got sent these by accident when he ordered vans and gave them to me since they sent him size 13. These shoes are goofy and I don't know who would buy them but I wear them all the time because I think they're really fun and have a lot of character.

Imagine just being able to vibe in the sun in the morning and then vibe underwater for the rest of it.
