    I can attest to the book I’m Thinking of Ending Things being terrifying. There’s a movie coming out now called Longlegs that’s supposed to be the type of horror that crawls deep into your psyche and starts out with subtlety, but builds until you’re terrified and don’t know why. The book I’m Thinking of Ending Things scared me during the reading process and for days after, in that style of horror that creeps into your psyche and doesn’t let go.

    Love your lists btw :) I am def going to check some of these out. I loved Brother a lot. It wasn't at all what I was expecting going into it. You're the only BookTuber I've been seeing praising Night Film in previous videos and that's one of my favorite horror books I've come across. I know this is off topic but I suggest watching Cigarette Burns by John Carpenter which Night Film is heavily inspired from, and then there's The King in Yellow (1895) which both were heavily inspired from.

    I couldn't agree with all of the books on here that I've read thus far! I haven't read Such Sharp Teeth yet but Black Sheep spoke to me on a familial trauma level. Not that we had the same experience but I just connected with Vesper on that "black sheep of the family" level. And the father-issues thing too.
    Anyways, sorry... rambling. Love your channel and taste in books!

    Although I’m female, I usually don’t really like reading books about womanhood because most of them are super hamfisted with feminism and I’m not a feminist. But since you begged nicely and said that it was subtle, I guess I’ll put Such Sharp Teeth on my TBR.
    Among a few of these others. Most of these sound pretty interesting.
    I read Come Closer recently but I clearly missed a lot in that book. I might have taken it a bit too literally. I didn’t really see the commentary it was trying to make. Whatever it was trying to say about womanhood clearly didn’t fit with my experience of it. …Which is what usually happens when I read books that are supposed to be a commentary on womanhood. 😅
