Anyone here into horror? If so gimme your favorite picks.
Last Days by Brian Evenson has really stuck with me, one of the best and most creative in the ‘cultist’ subgenre. Also seconding Negative Space by BR Yeager.
It’s a short read but when it comes to horror I always recommend The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker.
Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show is definitely in my top 10. His writing is chefs kiss
I’m currently reading Negative Space by B. R. Yeager and having an absolute blast.
Survivor Type by Stephen King is a great short story I’m sure you’ll enjoy
I will always recommend the Necrososcope series by Brian Lumley - vampires, werewolves, mind powers, and the protag talks to the dead - he makes friends with a dead scientist, learns an equation, and can use the mobius equation to open doorways to anywhere - the first couple of books are slow, but it is soo much fun to read!
Currently listening to The Fisherman by John Langan.
If you enjoy stories within stories - this nails it. I’m dreading what is still too come, and loving it!
I like cosmic horror and a good one I’ve found is The Abyss Above Us by Ryan Notch. It’s the story of a computer engineer hired to investigate why a radio observatory’s dish keeps reorienting itself to point at an area of sky with nothing interesting about it.
Sounds interesting. I assume you can’t tell us if the dish is actually pointing at something without spoiling it? 😂
Nope.
spoiler
The astronomers believe it’s pointed at a cosmic void, an area of the universe where stars never formed. It’s pitch black. Turns out it’s actually pointed at something much closer and unimaginably dark in front of those stars.
