Don't mind whether it's short stories or longer-form stuff - just tried scuba diving for the first time and it have me a horrors-from-the-depths itch I liked 'Hell Ship' by Benedict J. Jones, 'Into the Drowning Deep' by Mira Grant was OK as well.

Can't remember the title, but I read this book by Koontz where he made sure to mention that the protagonist made his wife/girlfriend cum three times before he came himself like a true gentleman. There was also a a novel about time travelling Nazis, another one about a dog that was given human intelligence by the CIA, a poor Firestarter knock-off, and something about the CIA putting mind-controlling drugs in water with several detailed passages describing how the antagonist used said mind control to molest women. What I'm saying is that Koontz is a horrible hack and I can't believe how many lovely horror novels I read in my youth.

My favourite Nevill story is the one set in a capitalist dystopia, I wish he'd write more of this kind of stuff

Revival. I liked The Cell well enough too, but most people seem to dislike it.

Seconding the Obscura recommendation, also the best space horror-adjacent movie is Sunshine

I've finished some horror novels recently, here are my absolutely 0  reviews.Adam Nevill - The Reddening - strong start and middle but a lackluster ending, which really mirrors my experience with Nevill. Todd Keisling - Devil's Creek - way too long, way too much gross and pointless sex stuff, avoid Paul Tremblay - Survivor Song - this one felt a bit too shallow to me, like it never committed to analysing its themes but merely skated over them with some cursory commentary thrown in Jason Parent - Apocalypse Strain - some fun body horror in this, it cribs from The Thing a bit too blatantly though

I thought The Watchers by A.M. Shine was a really good folk horror novel.

escape artist posted:I keep trying to read Boys in the Valley by Fracassi but everytime I get to the epigraph where he uses a My Chemical Romance lyric, I go "what the gently caress am I doing?" and read something else. It's an okay book, but nothing special. It also felt like low-key Christian propaganda, but maybe I'm reaching here.

Dead Silence had a good plot hook, but the reveal was a wet fart. I'll probably read the new one anyway, space horror is hard to come by.
