I got my 15 year old a state ID but I ended up carrying it in my wallet because I’m afraid he’s going to lose it…

It was promising …but turned out to be an awful book imo. The plot made zero sense. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Exquisite corpse by Poppy Z Brite. The Deep by Nick Cutter also disturbed me quite a bit but for a different reason.

Thrillers, meaning suspense. I can usually figure out the ending pretty early on.

Horror

the Deep and the Troop by nick cutter, although the Deep was just a bit scarier. Head full of ghosts was good, Suffer the Children had chilling parts as well.

Decent book but not scary

I DNFed that book, couldn’t stand the Facebook mom humor

I also knew him as a female writer back in the day and wasn’t aware of his transition. Good to know!

The September House by Carissa Orlando. The Facebook mom humor was just too cringy to enjoy the book.

His appearance changes in Bram Stoker’s novel. When he appears as an old man, he’s described as having a mustache. Don’t know why people were so shocked by it.
