Recs if you like December Park...

Fiction to read when riding that Stranger Things high, with similar vibes, references or stories. Sometimes called the "kids on bikes" genre, this is a mix of small town horror, scifi and speculative fiction. Also the tie-in novels for Stranger Things itself, as that inspired this list.

I love horror that takes place in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, so figured I'd put it all together here and hope for more recs in the process! This is a Stephen King free list.

This is one of my favourite movie genres so I thought I’d make a list for books!

Goes with my bookstagram post today: Analog is not an aesthetic or vibes or a trope. Nostalgia is grief. A coping mechanism. I find myself rewatching old favorites, crying when I listen to old music, searching for books set in the 80s and 90s and reaching for any media that feels GenX coded. I’m a 1976 Gemini turning 50 this year so this tracks. ☎️ the 80s & 90s are calling and I’m going back.

List of horror books (mostly 2000-2023) compiled by Sadie Hartmann, aka Mother Horror.
