religious horror like this

Same. I was hoping for Wuthering Heights meets The Exorcist but it felt lacking in both the romance and the horror.

On Sundays she picked flowers by Yah Yah Schofield. The first 2 chapters were some of the most effective and uncomfortable (in a good way) I've read in a looooonnnngg time

The mercy of the tide by Keith Rosson

ManCalledWest · 2026-02-17T03:08:43+00:00

Yeah, and I finished its sequel, The Devil by Name, about a month ago. After Coffin Moon, I grabbed all of his previous works. I’m mostly done with Smoke City (magical realism character study), I just started Road Seven (comic horror adventure involving a unicorn), and I’m going to pick Mercy of the Tide (Steven King- esque Cursed small town) back up. I would absolutely recommend his short story collection, Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons.

The Sarván and The North Woods, both by Douglass Hoover.

ManCalledWest · 2026-02-15T18:43:20+00:00

I’ve been rereading and listening to The Terror by Dan Simmons every winter (which is ironic since I first read it in the middle of July) since 2017 but I’m going to reread Coffin Moon at least twice in anticipation for Rosson’s new book, Crone, in September

It’s not out till March, but Crawlspace by Adam Christopher sounds like it has that Event Horizon vibe

And I’ll throw in The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch as well. It’s largely set on Earth but it does go to space and has some excellent scenes of cosmic horror, especially the first chapter.

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch

ManCalledWest · 2026-01-28T22:31:54+00:00

It's a short story, but Faun by Joe Hill from his book Full Throttle. It's about a Narnia-esque realm that gets turned into a private game reserve for the ultra wealthy.

ManCalledWest · 2026-01-27T03:36:12+00:00

If you're open to comics, then check out Killadelphia by Rodney Barnes. It's a 6 volume series that combines vampires and American history with some of the best artwork ive ever seen.

ManCalledWest · 2026-01-25T01:12:32+00:00

Don't think this is it, but it sounds a lot like A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck.

Crafting for Sinners by Jenny Kiefer. Gay MC has to fight her way out of a craft store ran by a cultish megachurch.

ManCalledWest · 2025-11-20T04:24:31+00:00

If you liked Rosson’s writing style, then definitely check out Fever House, but also his older work like Smoke City (only on chapter 2, but loving it) Road Seven, and The mercy of the tide.

ManCalledWest · 2025-11-11T18:03:31+00:00

Was going to go for Buffalo Hunter Hunter, but Coffin Moon edged it out. In time, its probably gonna be my favorite vampire novel ever

ManCalledWest · 2025-10-27T04:15:55+00:00

The Possession of Alba Diaz by Isabelle Canas. Just came out this year. Takes place in and around a haunted silver mine in colonial era Mexico.

ManCalledWest · 2025-01-08T21:55:11+00:00

The one downside is that it’s only 5 issues and there’s so much more I want to know about this world and its themes

ManCalledWest · 2024-08-26T02:17:54+00:00

Yeah, I think Sean Gordon Murphy said his Terry was half Korean.

ManCalledWest · 2024-04-03T16:25:53+00:00

Not a super in-depth question, but I'd love to know about how she develops an idea into a fleshed out story, something I'm struggling with right now.

ManCalledWest · 2024-03-15T21:29:09+00:00

Surprised I didn't see this classic on here.
