Don’t Drink the Water: Weird Towns
All the towns or cities in these books deserve a detour. Some probably even a quarantine. From bizarre creatures to cosmic weirdness to simmering malevolence to just plain human absurdity, these stories have it all. If you can’t keep driving, just remember, don’t drink the water

Any faves??
That’s so hard to answer! 😅 I’d have to say City of Saints and Madmen, The Devil’s Detective, The Vorrh and Works of Vermin are the stand outs atm.
Thank you!! Works of Vermin is on my radar but the others aren’t — looking them up 🤗
Awesome!! 💜
Mary by Nat Cassidy would fit this list!
I love that book!! And you’re so right! I’ve been debating whether I want a lot of horror in the list but it’s definitely on the radar.
I love Lute!
