Lindy Ryan recommends
thumb
How to Fake a Haunting (2025)
Christa Carmen
"A table-turning thrill ride that chases you to the very end. Carmen puts a terrifying new spin on what it means to be haunted."
thumb
Futility (2025)
Nuzo Onoh
"A visceral descent into the grotesque underbelly of desire, power, and ancestral wrath. Onoh conjures a story as culturally rich as it is deliciously depraved."
thumb
House of Idyll (2025)
Delilah S Dawson
"Erotic, horrifying, and woven through with strange, sinister beauty, Dawson summons a waltz from sacrifice."
