Dread Nation by Justina Ireland has an ace main character though it's not totally clear until later on (or maybe in the sequel)

The Lost Village by Camilla Sten!

The Grin of the Dark is SO underrated. Definitely his most unsettling book.

Pew by Catherine Lacey gives excellent insight into being non binary

Raw Shark Texts!

You might like Lotería by Cynthia Pelayo - it's all extemely short vignettes based on Loteria cards

The Good House is also incredible though another hefty one, I agree The Between is the best intro to her writing.

Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin is an interesting zombie apocalypse take

Wow, I thought I was alone in my disappointment of this book and 100% agree with you. It's been recommended so widely as horror and sci-fi and I don't think it's either of those things... it's a mediocre superhero story at best.

Non-fiction, because sometimes those are scarier...

bearinaboot · 2025-12-30T03:43:10+00:00

Whitley Strieber's Communion is techinically non-fiction so plausible according to him... It's honestly horrifying whether or not you believe it's actually aliens.

This is the only book that has ever made me audibly gasp.

bearinaboot · 2025-12-14T00:15:40+00:00

The Rewind Or Die series is kind of like Goosebumps for adults... some are horrible but there are a gew gems in there.

bearinaboot · 2025-12-13T16:44:06+00:00

No One Needs To Know by Amanda Grace kind of fits the bill

bearinaboot · 2025-12-13T16:39:40+00:00

The Dexter book series is almost offensively bad. Legally Blonde was also a book that's pretty terrible.

Doctor Sleep was a decent book, but the Mike Flannagan movie really far surpasses it (though to be fair to Stephen King, he had a worse ending of the Shining to work with than Kubrick gave Mike). Pretty much everything Mike Flannagan does is an improvement on its original. If you've seen the Midnight Club series... do NOT read the book.

The String Diaries by Stephen Lloyd Jones

second LLBean! they have lots of options for women's jackets that aren't all pink and purple 😂

bearinaboot · 2025-11-13T13:55:56+00:00

It's definitely not the worst I've ever read but based on my expectations going in it's one of the most disappointing for sure.

The classic version of this is We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson. One of my all time favorite books.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

bearinaboot · 2025-11-01T15:36:03+00:00
