    Little Heaven by Nick Cutter
    Save:

    “Little Heaven” is a wild, blood-soaked horror-western cocktail that’s not afraid to go big (or gross) with its scares. Come for the cults and monsters; stay if you can handle a lot of gore and anxiety-fueled dread!

    The little aphid did, though at a register too high for any human ear to perceive. It toiled in the root system of a cactus plant growing on the edge of the New Mexico desert. An insect so small that...

    Last Days by Adam Nevill
    Save:

    Incredibly creepy with serious cult horror vibes, "Last Days" is a modern horror standout - chilling, atmospheric, and hard to put down, if not always perfectly paced. Read it for the thrills, but be ready for a finale that divides opinion.

    Experimental Film by Gemma Files
    Save:

    A moody, gradual folk horror that rewards patient, curious readers with a uniquely haunting experience. If you crave atmosphere and appreciate flawed characters and obscure film lore, it’s definitely worth stepping into the shadows for.

    This all started a very long time ago for me . . . longer than even I could remember at the time, though since my mind is a black hole of influences, little that gets sucked inside its orbit ever full...

    A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw
    Save:

    A lush, twisted tale that’s equal parts eerie and enchanting - perfect for fans of atmospheric mysteries and dark fairy tales, but perhaps too far-out for readers who like their thrillers more grounded.

    Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
    Save:

    A modern witch tale that’s clever, creepy, and original - HEX won’t be for everyone, but if you enjoy dark, unsettling stories about small towns and the evil that lurks within, this one will haunt you long after the last page.

    STEVE GRANT ROUNDED the corner of the parking lot behind Black Spring Market & Deli just in time to see Katherine van Wyler get run over by an antique Dutch barrel organ. For a minute he thought it wa...
