    Thomas shook his head. "We've long overstayed our time limit, kiddo."

He motioned his family toward the foyer. But as they filed out, he lingered

behind, hands in his pockets, eyes still on the basement door.

Er det bedre å åpne døra, eller late som man ikke er hjemme?

Take Your Turn, Teddy av Haley Newlin - tankefull horror med et snev av krim

---

I have a gift for you, Teddy. 

    Teddy stopped at the center of the staircase. He couldn't

help but look over his shoulder, as if the shadow was just a

step above him, whispering in his ears. Teddy was still get-

ting used to a lot of things, the shadow included.

Take Your Turn, Teddy er en psykologisk horror som ble utgitt i 2020 og er en den sterkeste horror boka jeg har lest så langt i år.

Whisper Down the Lane av Clay McLeod Chapman - spennende og provoserende tema

that special? Miss Kinderman always made him feel special. The 

things he said were noteworthy, she explained.

The Shape of Darkness av Laura Purcell - synd at jeg ikke sparte denne til høstmørket

---

     People did say, when photographs first appeared,

that there was danger in having your image captured.

Part of your soul would remain forever imprisoned in

that glass lens. Sit for too many and you might be ...

depleted. More alive in the photograph than in real life.

Laura Purcell er et navn jeg har lagt merke til av og til når jeg har søkt på horror bøker. Navnet er ikke voldsomt kjent, men det har dukket opp noen ganger, og bøkene hennes har til en viss grad fristet.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things av Iain Reid - en bok om ensomhet som virkelig setter spor etter seg

---

    Jake once said, "Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can't fake a thought."
    You can't fake a thought. And this is what I'm thinking.
    It worries me. It really does. Maybe I should have known how it was going to end for us. Maybe the end was written right from the beginning.

Ingen tanker er falske ...
