How to Sell a Haunted House
Hoo boy, what a wild ride. Wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get through it, what with the trifecta of clowns, dolls, and puppets. Visceral and visual like all good horror books are.
Don’t fear the Reaper
Picking up years after where My Heart is a Chainsaw left off with nonstop slasher action, killers that won’t stay dead, tricksy twins, all of the tropes. A rip roaring horror read!
Black Dove
I don’t know if any description can do this book justice. It is a story that is surreal, sad, haunting and more than a little disturbing. It is full of magical realism, grief and longing. Wholly original.
Militia House
Militia House immediately sucks you in, giving you a visceral feel for what deployment must feel like, the toll it takes, and the resulting PTSD. The horror may seem imagined, but is very real.
Daisy Darker
A wink to Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None,” Daisy Darker is full of twists. In a crumbling gothic house on a tiny island, a family with secrets assembles, and the body count begins.

A prairie horror novel akin to Children of the Corn but in the style of David Lynch. A town on the plains, tortured by tornados, is full of creepy vibes, a tornado wrangler, and his chosen bride.

Out there Screaming
This Anthology of all-new stories of Black horror edited by Jordan Peele, explores not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation.
A dreadful splendor
Lastly, an award-winning read that’s perhaps a little cozier, a gothic murder mystery rom-com that combines a twisty whodunit with witty Victorian drama full of seances, ghosts, curses and romance.
