The only thing this was missing was the HOT TO GO needle drop. But books can’t produce sound, so it’s still a five star read. If you’re a fan of Wendy Dalrymple, you’ll know her writing pairs perfectly with this type of story. The novelization of Buzz ...more

Terrific storytelling. Marcus Kliewer is a must read author for me after We Used To Live Here. The Caretaker is a slightly different beast—much more streamlined and straightforward—but still shows off his knack for strange world building, bizarre det ...more

I was lucky enough to read an early copy of this book. The vibes are very 80s Spielberg meets X-Files. Shirey blends all of your favorite paranormal conspiracies while stringing together an engaging and satisfying narrative.

The most frightening account of cult psychological terror I’ve read in quite some time. Morgan sinks her claws into the reader’s skin from the very first chapter and doesn’t let go until the final page.
