J H Markert recommends

Of Flesh and Blood (2025)
Hunter Burke and N L Lavin
"A meticulously detailed story of the Cajun Cannibal that will have true crime junkies salivating. A novel so true-crimey, I'm still wondering if it really happened!"

Bitter is the Heart (2024)
Mina Hardy
"With a thread of generational trauma that just won't break, Mina Hardy's Bitter is the Heart takes the mother-daughter relationship to a whole new terrifying level."

This Wretched Valley (2024)
Jenny Kiefer
"Set deep in the backwoods of eastern Kentucky, This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer took me to a place I'd never want to go, yet found myself completely unable to leave. What started off as a Michael Crichton'like adventure soon gave way to something more reminiscent of Jennifer McMahon's The Winter People and Scott Smith's The Ruins. A ghost story on steroids, with wonderfully disturbing images laced throughout. I don't think I'll ever go hiking again!"
