I could never handle horror movies so I figured I wouldn't be able to handle horror books. For some reason around the time my daughter was born and I was awake multiple times during the night feeding her I read We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix. It was creepy as poo poo but it didn't really scare me. Over the next few years I read the rest of his books and similarly they're creepy, unnerving, spooky, but not really scary. Until I read his latest, How to Sell a Haunted House. It legitimately kept me awake at night. But at least no nightmares like when I watched a horror movie as a kid. I think the big reason it was actually scary to me was because there's a lot of endangering kids and kids being possessed and my kids are roughly the ages of the kids in the book.
