This might be my last book for #HauntedShelf. The Night Guest was a really good thriller. I read it in one sitting as it's only 194 pages. The pacing is excellent. It slowly builds up the tension until it has you by the throat. 4.5 stars.

Preston's thriller ARC centers around a group of friends planning an epic party around an abandoned castle. There's plenty of atmosphere as the body count rises. While the book starts off slowly, the ending is rapid fire. 4 stars

Malfi is a must-read for me. Small Town Horror went from creeping dread to sheer terror at the end. His prose is almost cinematic. 4.5 stars

I'd describe Hampton Heights as a cozy horror novel. Fun and more about the friendships formed that any outright horror. 4 stars

A dark reread from last year. I think the limited word count results in more gore than substance. Still an entertaining read.

I really enjoyed this short horror novel. It takes place in one evening and easily be read in the same amount of time. The novel focuses on the Anchorites, a rag-tag bunch of insomniacs, who smoke at night at the local graveyard. One night they found that someone is digging a hole and try to solve the mystery. 4.5 stars
