The only one I’ve read here is Rosemary’s Baby but I have Growing Things out from the library right now. I see lots of familiar books here though that I hope to check out one day.

I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I do!

I loved Wakenhyrst and I enjoyed Rosemary’s Baby. I read one Adam Nevill book (House of Small Shadows) a few years ago; it was kinda… disturbing, so I’m in no hurry to read another by him. Some of your choices here look good! I just finished The Twisted Ones by T Kingfisher. It’s based on The White People, by Arthur Machen, and it was deliciously creepy fun. I recommend it!

House of Small Shadows is creepy but yeah it’s definitely not an easy read. Ooh The Twisted Ones sounds great I’ve added it to my TBR, thank you for the rec!
