Recs if you like Burnt Offerings...

Fiction stories about Haunted houses and other locations. Maybe it’s ghosts, maybe it’s cursed, maybe it’s ancient gods or creatures? All kinda of supernatural haunts and creatures attached to homes, objects, or locations.

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.

possession n that Most of these are recs I found on r/horrorlit so apologies if they don’t actually include possession 🫡 recs are always welcomed 🙂‍↕️

what gab smolders read in 2025 as per her book talk video! horror + in tier order from most to least liked by her:

★ S TIER: from "night shoot" to "old country"

★ A TIER: from "what stalks the deep" to "listen to your sister"

★ B TIER: from "the long walk" to "the gathering"

★ C TIER: from "banquet for the damned" to "model home"

★ D TIER: from "3 streets" to "my darling dreadful thing"

it's not a haunted house, it's a haunted HOME. if you enjoyed monster house as a kid or, like me, still enjoy it as an adult, here are some books about homes that aren't so cozy! feel free to give your own recs to add

Under appreciated horror and books lost in the annals of history.

A mix of fiction and nonfiction set in/about the 1970s. Books from the decade too.

A colourful bouquet of creepy, macabre and gruesome tales from the past century. Of murderous worms, demons and unpleasant events.
