The Red Shoe - Ursula Dubosarky A strange little story set in a small coastal town in Australia about a family struggling all individually and collectively. Told predominantly through the perspective of the youngest sister, Matilda, who is trying to escape her mean imaginary friend.
Just makes the cut off at 497 ratings.
Fearless - Ashley Lister A very short tale of psychological horror. A fun premise, definitely stressful moments and a dry, almost tongue in cheek humour that really tied it all together.
27 ratings.
Faceless - Jeff Monday A beautiful love story, with wonderful understated world building and some spooky elements. Dark fantasy vibes, but really it's the warmth of the characters that carries it.
122 ratings.

I've met Ursula at a writer's festival before. She's just as lovely as her books!

Yes, I agree more or less with your list, or you simply got me love you for mentioning Fearless. However, you didnt mention "Đavolja noć" by Adam Medvidović on your list, and that is the best of the hidden gems ever.

I take book recs very personally, and hate to give someone something that didn't satisfy expectations, so if you go for it please give me feedback - HONEST feedback.
