Buy it. I'm starting to think it might be good, but that doesn't matter. Buy it to keep me out of prison where I belong.

The Fisherman by @johnlangan.bsky.social, one of my favorite horror books of all time. The definition of a slow burn that rewards big. We made it! Happy Halloween, everybody. If you bought one third of the books I've recommended this month, you are very happy and completely broke.

Absolution by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social, the fourth Southern Reach book. Every VanderMeer book comes with deranged surrealist horror and implacable dread, this one also comes with a neat foil cover! If you're terrified about the future's impending environmental disasters, read this. It won't help.

Generation Loss by @elizabethhand.bsky.social, a bleak but brilliant post-punk Nordic folk horror detective novel, if Maine counts as Nordic. It probably does.

Pick up any of @lairdbarron.bsky.social's short story collections for the best cosmic horror written today. For something longer grab The Croning. Like a subversion of literary fiction's darling "divorced academic character study," but one that spirals into completely bonkers horror.

Here's a makeup book: Wounds by Nathan Ballingrud. Collected shorts and a novella from a shared universe, that universe being hell. Incredible prose, endlessly inventive, it's a spiritual successor to Clive Barker in making hell feel like a place you can actually feel beneath your feet.

Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker, a pandemic immigrant's story about a crime scene cleaner in Chinatown haunted by the death of her sister and also very much actual ghosts. A lot of ghosts. More ghosts than you're picturing.

Between Two Fires is one of my favorite books of all time, but you know this. I won't shut up about this. Let's go with an alternate @buehlmeister.bsky.social for Halloween: Those across the river. Both a celebration of and subversion of Southern Gothic and Folk Horror.

All the setup, spirit, and atmosphere of a classic haunted house story, @cheriepriest.com's It Was Her House First is weirdly cozy, and also pretty fucked up by the end. Or maybe just weirdly cozy if you happen to be pretty fucked up already.

A brand new release, I'm not through Hole in the Sky yet but Daniel Wilson always writes corrupted Spielberg movies in your head. Here the Cherokee make first contact with a deeply strange, maybe hostile alien race in a sci-fi/thriller/horror novel that keeps you guessing the genre the entire time.

We had a lot of fun with this over the years on @1900hotdog.bsky.social, but you're clearly a fellow Hot Dog soul. Here's Custom Van Magazine's full papercraft Design Your Own Custom Van template. Of course they called it BUILD A VAN WITH A KNIFE.
