Horror book recommendations please

I’m looking for something with an eerie vibe with little to no gore. I read the woman in black and it was the perfect vibe, the fog and the overall creepy feel of it, but not enough happened for me to enjoy it.

@Abby I’ve seen that in a lot of book rec videos on Instagram but the cover is so pretty I didn’t think it was horror!

Books by Joe Hill

@Harrynetta I tried to read Heart Shaped Box years ago and ended up falling asleep every time so I didn’t finish it. Is it worth another shot? It’s sitting on my shelf.

@S.G. try nos4a2. That creeped me out and I'm the type to rationalise everything with science lol

@Harrynetta Awesome, thank you! I have a pretty high tolerance for horror when it comes to movies, although these days I can’t stomach the gore of Saw movies I used to love. But I love anything with a creepy vibe that’ll scare a normal person.

@S.G. content warning it involves children

@Harrynetta Oh. That’s a tough one. Thanks for the warning.

Have you read any Stephen king?

@Karen Tried to read Carrie in highschool and was bored to death with how wordy it was. The amount of inner dialogue bothered me so I assumed all his books were that way.

@S.G. I really like Stephen king but I’ve never read Carrie sonic ant compare that to his others. I love the long walk and cell.

@Karen I’ll look into those. Thank you!

“Im thinking of ending things” is very eerie, no gore; “The Only Good Indians” is very eerie and unique, its probably the best horror book Ive ever read!

You've Been Warned - James Patterson. It's super weird, confusing, and creepy

@McKenzie @Emma Thank you!

I really liked Eight Perfect Murders
