Such a cozy vibe on an afternoon where I refuse to move from the couch. Thanks for the epic videos! Also, I always thought of horror and thriller as fall books but I see what you’re saying with this campfire bit. Did you read Lone Woman? I need to read that before Sunday. I’m thinking you did read it…

I think so! I'd recommend maybe starting with the Sherry Thomas books - A Study in Scarlet Women or Neskesia Afia - Dead, Dead Girls (a little creepier) since the mysteries aren't hard to follow and can ease you in to it. Or to try The Thursday Murder Club which is more fun but a little more confusing with timelines.

I'm so glad you loved What Feasts at Night and that you found it darker than What Moves the Dead. I'm reading it soon and I hope I'll love it too. I just finished Nettle & Bone and though I thought I wouldn't like it as much, I ended up loving it a lot and gave it 5 stars. There's just something in her writing that adapts so well to different genres and hooks you in slowly by slowly. Might give The Hollow Places a try too; I think it will be a nice gateway to the horror genre. Kate Elliot has a space-opera series of novels that sounds interesting too!

Yes I totally agree! She just has this writing especially with her spookier books that just pulls you in. And I love her humor in both her fantasy and horror.
