Booktok 📚 discussion

I need some help finding books that will leave me speechless, think American psycho, dark matter, haunting of Hill house. Psychological thrillers etc!!

horror movie, by paul tremblay, and william, by mason coile!

The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig was a great psych horror.
Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak made my brain hurt and the book actually has the super disturbing drawings in it (which is awesome).

You’ve got to try Kissed by the Devil (by C H Elton). It’s a dark Faustian thriller with plenty of twists. I think you’ll like it.

I recommend joining the dark romance group!!! Even if you’re not as much into the romance, or maybe you are, lots of good dark recs on there:)

If you’re craving slow-burn tension wrapped in dangerous power dynamics, The Red Room Society might be your thing.

It’s set inside London’s financial elite — where reputations are currency, influence is intoxicating, and every invitation carries weight. The seduction isn’t loud. It’s deliberate. Private dinners that stretch past midnight. Conversations that blur the line between mentorship and something far more intimate. A touch that lingers just long enough to mean something.

The heroine isn’t naïve — she recognises the shift the moment it begins. She understands the risk. The thrill. The cost. She isn’t dragged into the fire… she moves closer because she wants to feel the heat.

This isn’t instant gratification or surface-level dominance. It’s about proximity. Being watched. Being chosen. Being slowly, deliberately undone.

Less explosive scandal, more quiet corruption — the kind that settles under your skin and refuses to leave.

And when the tension finally tips into something physical… it feels earned.
