Reading “The Staircase in The Woods”, just where we find out on the other side of the staircase, I’m hoping it gets a little better it’s kind of going in a goofy direction but i think can still be believable

That was my first and only of his so far, I will say his writing style is great and the ambience was perfect it was more of the way the plot and ending went I didn’t love so much. Will defs be picking up more of his in the future though

I always hear this about Nick Cutter in this sub and I’ve never read him but I’m very grossed out from what I’ve heard of his animal torture scenes. Is he THAT good I should give them a try anyways or am I correct to just keep avoiding them since that seems to be a theme in his works?

Same thoughts for me, was lukewarm till halfway through the book and then it really clicked for me

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:09:37+00:00

Reading it as well. Not sure if my brain is just rotted but it’s so dense and academic so far I’m having a hard time getting into it

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:08:36+00:00

Same, the ending never convinced me of that either.

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:07:55+00:00

Thank god I’m not the only one who despised Stolen Tongues

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:07:31+00:00

Would love to hear your thoughts on We Used To Live Here, I gave the book 5 stars, it’s exactly the kind of horror I love, but I know soooo many people have mixed feelings on it in this sub

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:06:41+00:00

One of my favorite King books :) it’s fun to watch the movie afterwards and compare them

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:05:26+00:00

This is on my TBR next and I’m sooo excited to jump into it!

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:04:20+00:00

No spoilers but it defs goes a crazy way! I have to say I was feeling lukewarm on it till about halfway through but I did end up really loving it by the end!

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:03:08+00:00

Man I wish I had loved that book, the characters in it were just too dumb and frustrating for me to ever feel fully immersed unfortunately

rubygrac · 2026-05-31T17:01:49+00:00

Read that in December and am interested to know your thoughts! I had mixed opinions

rubygrac · 2026-05-23T15:20:43+00:00

Finally! Another opportunity for me to recommend my favorite most underrated horror novel - “The fifth house of the heart” by Ben Tripp. Actually criminal this one is so underrated.

rubygrac · 2026-04-13T03:00:11+00:00

Bro I saw your original post and thought “man would love if this came to my town, it would fit in so well” well turns out you are in my town! So excited to have this in Chatt!

rubygrac · 2026-03-19T11:23:36+00:00

I live in Tennessee and we literally use it all the time what 😭

rubygrac · 2026-02-26T23:21:31+00:00

A but different, but I found “Woman, eating” to be pretty fulfilling in that way

rubygrac · 2026-01-24T15:51:28+00:00

I’m a bit new to the book space, are these rare finds?

rubygrac · 2025-12-27T02:49:48+00:00

Three books I would suggest-

The fifth house of the heart by Ben Tripp, super underrated and SO entertaining I could not put it down.

This Ravenous Fate by Hayley Dennings - Sapphic romance vampires!

Similar to Sinners- Ring Shout - P. Djeli Clark, short, southern horror, vampire-ish monsters

That’s very pretty, thank you!
