Paul Tremblay has won widespread acclaim for illuminating the dark horrors of the mind in novels and stories that push the boundaries of storytelling itself. The fifteen pieces in this brilliant collection, The Beast You Are, are all monsters of a kind, ready to loudly (and lovingly) smash through your head and into your heart. In “The Dead Thing,” a middle-schooler struggles to deal with the aftermath of her parents’ substance addictions and split. One day, her little brother claims he found a shoebox with “the dead thing” inside. He won’t show it to her and he won’t let the box out of his sight. In “The Last Conversation,” a person wakes in a sterile, white room and begins to receive instructions via intercom from a woman named Anne. When they are finally allowed to leave the room to complete a task, what they find is as shocking as it is heartbreaking. The title novella, “The Beast You Are,” is a mini epic in which the destinies and secrets of a village, a dog, and a cat are intertwined with a giant monster that returns to wreak havoc every thirty years. A masterpiece of literary horror and psychological suspense, The Beast You Are is a fearlessly imagined collection from one of the most electrifying and innovative writers working today.

A Library Reads Pick! The Blair Witch Project meets Midsommar in this brilliantly disturbing thriller from Camilla Sten, an electrifying new voice in suspense. Documentary filmmaker Alice Lindstedt has been obsessed with the vanishing residents of the old mining town, dubbed “The Lost Village,” since she was a little girl. In 1959, her grandmother’s entire family disappeared in this mysterious tragedy, and ever since, the unanswered questions surrounding the only two people who were left—a woman stoned to death in the town center and an abandoned newborn—have plagued her. She’s gathered a small crew of friends in the remote village to make a film about what really happened. But there will be no turning back. Not long after they’ve set up camp, mysterious things begin to happen. Equipment is destroyed. People go missing. As doubt breeds fear and their very minds begin to crack, one thing becomes startlingly clear to Alice: They are not alone. They’re looking for the truth… But what if it finds them first?

It surfaces roughly every twenty-seven years to prey on Derry's children, and in the summer of 1958 the Losers — Bill, Ben, Beverly, Richie, Eddie, Mike, and Stan — become the only people willing to fight it.\n\nTwenty-seven years later, the killings begin again. The Losers, now scattered adults who have half-forgotten what happened to them, are called back to Derry by a promise they made as children: to return and finish what they started. King tells their story through a nonlinear structure that braids the two eras together, so that childhood and adulthood, memory and present terror, bleed into one another.\n\nOne of Stephen King's most ambitious and enduring novels, It is at once an epic horror story and a meditation on childhood, memory, friendship, and the losses that come with growing up.

The trail leads through a sculptor's fevered nightmares of a monstrous city, a Louisiana police raid on a swamp cult, and the log of a doomed ship in the remote South Pacific. Slowly, horrifyingly, a single picture emerges: of Cthulhu, a vast alien god sleeping beneath the sea in the sunken city of R'lyeh, and of the cults worldwide that wait for the stars to align so that it may wake.\n\nTold through fragmentary documents and secondhand accounts, The Call of Cthulhu is H. P. Lovecraft's most influential story and the cornerstone of what became the Cthulhu Mythos. Its power lies in dread rather than action — the growing sense that humanity is a brief, insignificant accident in an indifferent cosmos, and that some knowledge is too terrible to survive.\n\nFirst published in 1928, this foundational work of cosmic horror established the themes of forbidden knowledge and human insignificance that would ripple through a century of weird fiction, film, and games.

The locals call it the Haar, and this one is not natural. To some it seems to offer a kind of redemption; to others it brings only madness, transformation, and death. As the mist takes hold of Witchaven and its would-be destroyers, Muriel finds herself at the center of something ancient and merciless that has woken to answer the village's ruin.\n\nDavid Sodergren's The Haar is a gore-soaked folk-horror fairy tale from the author of Maggie's Grave, blending tender, unexpected romance with visceral body horror. It is a defiant story about aging, home, and the price of vengeance, aimed squarely at readers who like their horror both heartfelt and extreme.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kt4shb38dh03kjrvjp31csn8.jpg?v=e7394addbb","L79QK*Wq9[$*z;WUkqs:~VoLMxS2",[936],{"id":937,"slug":938,"name":939},"01kt4sfgj025904kcw8bvyjwr0","david-sodergren-cane","David Sodergren",[941,942,943,947,948],{"id":135,"name":196,"slug":197,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":944,"name":945,"slug":946,"is_fiction":21},219,"Folk Horror","folk-horror",{"id":64,"name":65,"slug":66,"is_fiction":21},{"id":60,"name":61,"slug":62,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":111,"complexity":7,"audience":113,"mood":951,"themes":952,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[115,175,116,260],[263],{"id":954,"slug":955,"title":956,"description":957,"primary_cover_url":958,"cover_blurhash":959,"first_publish_year":960,"community_rating_avg":257,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":416,"authors":961,"genres":963,"series":967,"enrichment":968},"01kkcavaje5m93vme68b5yj5cb","imprisoned-with-the-pharaohs-sv40","Imprisoned with the Pharaohs","A young man finds himself inexplicably transported to ancient Egypt, where he is forced to confront the terrifying realities of a lost civilization.
