Love Catherine Ryan Howard, her best novel is The Nothing Man, it’s dark, it’s the kind of book you need to keep reading. Glad you enjoyed Run Time!

[@WickedScorpio]

Yessss I absolutely loved the vessel. Easily in my top of the year

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

Congrats and well done to you on your reading month Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family ❤❤❤

[@andshereadstoo7809]

You always have the best underrated picks! 🖤

[@lesliepowell-mccarty7067]

Bentley Little writes some crazy stuff!!

[@spo0kyxspice]

Congrats on the reads! 🥳 I’ve only read one book so far for December and think that’s all I’ll get through 😅
The cover of Run Time is very eye catching.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Hey, that’s better than nothing! I feel like we tend to place so much pressure on ourselves (at least I do). Most normal people barely get time to read anything lol

[@spo0kyxspice]

@@mandysmorgueofhorror So very true, it's always the advice we give out that's the hardest to follow ourselves haha.

[@BirdsBleak]

You should try Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard. The narrative is so unique, I've never read anything like it. It's about a killer and he's so intense and scary. I loved it. Happy Holidays! 🤶

[@michaelmccarty]

I second that -- The Nothing Man by CRH is wonderful!

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

It sounds very interesting!

[@adriennelee9605]

The Vessel was pretty good and definitely cinematic and the ending was very satisfying. Adam Nevill is hit or miss for me. I recommend his books House of Long Shadows and Banquet for the Damned. And if you loved The Vessel you would probably also really enjoy his book Cunning Folk.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I’ve heard mixed things about his work, but I really do want to check out more!

[@nigelharvey7626]

Adam Nevill is so good. I’ve yet to read The Vessel but Last Days and No One Gets Out Alive were very creepy.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I’ve heard good things about those two books!

[@nigelharvey7626]

@@mandysmorgueofhorror the film of NOGOA and The Ritual are good too.

[@austindolan7182]

little eve by catriona ward was incredible. great depiction of an abusive family dynamic.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I have it and need to read it!

[@bernardmulligan5504]

The Circle sounds interesting. I enjoy those anthology horror stories that overlap like that.

[@therosebride]

As you were describing Run Time, I ordered a copy and added Rewind to my wishlist. I have a copy of The Vessel thanks to Night Worms but I haven't started it yet. I'm currently re-reading The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix for the holiday season. More fantasy than horror but it deals with necromancers and lots of raising of the dead so it straddles the line a bit. Recommended if you like really good darkish fantasy. Hope your holidays are going well! Thanks for the book recs :)

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Hope you have a happy holiday as well. I highly recommend starting The Vessel soon! And I hope you like Run Time :)

[@Books_on_the_Brain]

I loved The Vessel! It was my first Adam Nevill also, and I can't wait to get into his other stuff. I'm thinking about focusing on his and Darcy Coates's backlists next year, that could be fun!

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

That does sound fun. I need to read her - I haven’t read anything by her yet!

[@ludvanbeethoven1]

I read 11 books in November

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Awesome!

[@plaid-a-puss]

So, I read Reception a couple of months back. I was actually really disappointed by it. I found the characters and writing to be lackluster. I thought SO many of the elements could have been done better. I finished it, and felt let down by the end. I probably won’t be picking up any more of this writer’s work.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Sad you didn’t enjoy it as much as I did!

[@classicmikestar]

really cool channel similar to mine :)

[@opheliasfall]

Bentley Little never writes anything "normal." He's a lot of fun. Try The House or Dominion or The Ignored; those are old school Little.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I actually have The House!

"Some cannibals show up."
Don't you just hate it when this happens.
So inconsiderate.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I know, right?! 😂
