Recs if you like The Shape of Darkness...

next up in the series is Ell Potter! they have a wide range, from litfic to romance to thrillers to cozy fantasy. named one of audible’s break out stars, Ell has a soothing voice and their cadence just scratches an itch in my brain in the best way. Like my last list, I’ve avoided Audible exclusives so everyone can access these titles through Libby, Hoopla, or Libro.fm.

My Dad and I’s book club: a curated set of terrifying reads for father-daughter discussions. From chilling hauntings to psychological thrillers, ghosts, gothic tales, and mind-bending mysteries, these books are perfect for sleepless nights and spine-tingling conversations. Expect suspense, gothic atmospheres, and stories that linger in your mind. Read with us, compare chills, and maybe even scream a little together—we’d love for you to join! 🖤🩷

If you want to live deliciously, you must summon the dead by reading cursed books at night, alone, with the closet door open. But don’t practice any of this in real life. Ouija boards and seances open doors to a whole host of supernatural nightmares you don’t want to invite into your personal space - best just to read about fictional people making that mistake.

It’s true. Might as well find an eerie ghost story for you both…
