Yes it definitely fits, and are some great staples for weird ecological horror.

The first half I would have had to agree, but I do think by the end I wasn’t as invested. Still probably a top 3 King book for me. I grew up with an old German Shepard much the same as Radar, so this book will always hold a special place for me.

Lol. Let’s just say there is a reason I read this book on release; The Magnus Archives is peek audio horror.

Alright you got me. I wanted to read Abercrombie and I lied to myself that bloody grim dark would count towards my Halloween of Horrors.
And I’ll stand by it, far bloodier than some of the other entries.

Yeah I’ll agree, not a horror book exactly but is filled with horror elements and I think Grim Dark fantasy is close enough to count. It’s a bleak and hopeless world, and more “horrifying” than a lot of pure horror books.

The Terror by Dan Simmons
I think about that book a lot, and how truly scary it is.
Honorable mentions for one’s I wouldn’t want to read again but loved are Tender is The Flesh, and The Ruins (which was in this post). Without spoilers, there are some pretty good body horror scenes that really messed with me.
