Wickerface: Whitaker Ranch is a slow-burn horror that thrives on atmosphere and tension rather than cheap scares. The ranch feels ominous from the start, and the sense of isolation makes every moment more unsettling. Wickerface is disturbing in a quiet, lingering way, and the mystery surrounding it kept me turning pages.
The pacing is steady, the characters feel grounded, and the horror builds naturally until it seeps under your skin. If you enjoy folk horror or psychological suspense that leaves you uneasy long after you finish, this one is worth reading.
