HORROR BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

"I am a veteran horror fan and an avid reader of psychological thrillers and true crime, and to this day the one book that has legitimately given me nightmares is this book. It’s an Irish YA novel about a world where everyone at some point between the ages of 13 and 18 is kidnapped. They're then taken to the hellish 'Grey' realm, where they must fight for survival for 24 hours. O’Guilin really makes his readers imagine what it would be like to live with this horrifying fate hanging over you 24/7, and that feeling will crawl under your skin and stay with you for days."

"It's an anthology/novel hybrid where a group of aspiring authors isolate themselves in a rundown movie palace, which is supported by an unknown host. The through-line story is spooky, but not horrific. The anthology of the fictional authors' stories, however, contains some incredibly disturbing stuff."
