house of hollow is SO good
Don't know if you're looking for recs, but I feel like a House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher would also fit this list!
Thanks for the rec, added to the list!
Of course! Also just remembered Wake the Bones by Elizabeth Kilcoyne.
Haven't heard of or read ANY but I'm favoriting because this sounds goooood
You might also enjoy Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and The Ruins by Scott Smith. I thiink The Troop by Nick Cutter may also fall within this genre, but I haven't read it myself so not entirely positive.
How did I forget The Ruins!!!! Added your recs to the list. The Troop is on my tbr, I hear its a tough read as the body horror is intense.
I've heard that too, which is why I've removed it from my TBR haha.. I've realized that I just can't read body horror and enjoy myself lmao.
My favourite kind of horror
