An extremely creepy and horrifying story that goes to unexpected places. I recommend going in blind. Excellent and original horror. 5⭐️

A good start to October. A simple start, solid suspenseful build up, and a knockout ending. The ending was a bit unsatisfying and a lot unsettling. Recommended for a suspenseful light and creepy mystery.

Newest library pick up. Keep hearing such good things about this. #booksponbingo

A bizarre and creepy tale that has many twists and turns. I thought this was going to be about some kind of home invasion, but it was so much more than that.
A very enjoyable and compelling page-turner!

4.75⭐
-psychological horror that seriously messes with your head
-with a ghostly suspense
-and a creepy crawlies aspect
-a cleverly crafted plot that skews reality
-although it was a touch confusing at times
-a somewhat ambiguous ending
-Bonus: there‘s a movie coming soon
-Jeremy Carlisle Parker as the MC was sensational. Corey Brill who reads the epistolary sections of the book was also excellent.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I don‘t get unsettled too easily but this one definitely did it! I can‘t remember a book giving me such existential dread as much as this one did. Not since lovecraft anyway! Perfect book for the spooky season! Highly recommend

This book was a slow burn creep. Unsettling. Enough to make you uncomfortable but not scare the daylights out of you. I‘m still thinking about the ending and if I truly understand it. Very twisty. This would be a great first book for someone just entering the creepy genre.

I‘m almost finished this one.. usually books don‘t scare or creep me out but this one is creepy! Listening to it is definitely making it creepier! I feel like I may need to listen to it again to catch everything.

I didnt get to finish Middle of The Night because it‘s due back today, so i started this one on my lunchbreak. I hope it‘s as creepy as it seems!

This was a wild ride! I‘ve never been so satisfied with a book while still having so many questions. But I guess that‘s the point. Nothing was wrapped up in a little bow and I loved it. Just enough was given to make you continue wondering.

I already turned this book in so I don't have a picture with the dust jacket. However, it has an otherworldliness that is similar to Twin Peaks.

This is a real-life picture of me trying to find out what the hell was going on in this book 😂. I absolutely loved it until the ending. I was creeped out to the point of looking behind me when I was going upstairs. I was completely wrapped and trying to solve everything. What.Was.That.Ending. Nothing is wrapped up. Nothing is solved. There are so many un answered questions, and I still have no idea what just happened. (Translate everything)3.75/5

Truly uncanny debut. The creepy factor is off the charts. There are also excerpts of found footage throughout the book. There are sections that start off with tense dread leading to terror. If you like books that blur the edges of reality, give it a try. 4.5 stars

Super interesting concept for a scary story but I have to say it was poorly executed. When I finished, I thought “What even is this book?” Unfortunately, the storyline was not laid out in a way that made my jaw drop with amazement, and in fact I am not really sure what happened, in a bad way.
Plus, the author used ellipses to transition between paragraphs when something creepy was going on. I definitely used to do that. In middle school.

I really had fun with this one. Nicely creepy and tense. Devoured in a day.

Hope you like it too @TrishB

I saw loads of love for this one everywhere particularly on bookstagram. Haunted house stories being my fave I jumped on the bandwagon. Sadly, this one fell flat for me. Don‘t want to say too much as I don‘t want to give any spoilers for others but the story veered off from a haunted house story into a genre that is one of my least liked & I try to avoid. The writing was good, the story just wasn‘t for me.

Wow, what a wild story! One day a strange family shows up on Eves porch claiming they used to live in her recently purchased house. Harmlessly they ask if they can just look around. What‘s the harm in that Eve thinks and reluctantly lets them in. This book is creepy, mind bending and definitely unlike anything I‘ve read. Still thinking of the ending but don‘t want to reveal too much to spoil the story. Definitely recommend!!

Book 63📚 4⭐️

Creepy and confusing! I wish there was more details on the labyrinth! I want a map or someone who has figured it out.

Definitely worth a read!

This horror novel reallllly got in my head. It probably helped that I read it at night in an isolated cabin in the woods.

unpopular opinion: i was expecting to be spooked but im halfway through and still nothing…the 1st few chapters hooked me but and theres def some weird stuff happening and curious to know how this ends #audiophile #readinglife #readinggoal UPDATE: the last few chapters were good and the ending tied up everything…overall a good read

At the heart of this book is the relationship between home and its people, and the message of the lasting connection between them. Kliewer tells this story with the quiet urgency that a small town runs on, and asks the listener to consider time and remembrance.....

This was a WILD horror that had me absolutely hooked. I loved every bit of it and can't believe this is a debut. Please write more, you have a reader here who will read whatever you put out.
Many thanks to Atria Books and NetGalley for this ARC in return for my honest review. #arc #atriabooks #weusedtolivehere
