Ted knows the neighbours think the worst of him. He also knows there are gaps in his memory he would rather not examine.\n\nThen Dee moves into the empty house next door. Years earlier, her little sister vanished from a nearby lake, and Dee has never stopped searching. She is certain Ted knows something. As she watches him, and as the narrative shifts between Ted, Olivia, and Dee, the reader is pulled into a story where nothing is stable and no account can be trusted.\n\nCatriona Ward's genre-bending psychological horror is a masterclass in misdirection — unbearably tense, deeply unsettling, and built around a structure that reveals itself only piece by piece. To say much more would spoil it; part of its power is how completely it upends what you think you understand.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjf8782g69ew3294mmgqq0.jpg","L7Cs8IIfKl~k^XIK4q^|.NIDa9?S",2021,"3.50",1,337,[173],{"id":174,"slug":175,"name":176},"01kkfjf872chhy93qka6vq4dvr","catriona-ward-yaht","Catriona Ward",[178,179,180,183,187,191],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":151,"name":152,"slug":153,"is_fiction":19},{"id":73,"name":181,"slug":182,"is_fiction":19},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":184,"name":185,"slug":186,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":188,"name":189,"slug":190,"is_fiction":19},47,"Gothic","gothic",{"id":192,"name":193,"slug":194,"is_fiction":19},50,"Psychological Horror","psychological-horror",[],{"pace":102,"complexity":10,"audience":105,"mood":197,"themes":199,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[107,198],"mysterious",[200],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":202,"slug":203,"title":204,"description":205,"primary_cover_url":206,"cover_blurhash":207,"first_publish_year":208,"community_rating_avg":209,"community_rating_count":170,"page_count":210,"authors":211,"genres":216,"series":228,"enrichment":229},"01kkfjham5t699p5m5ehgevh87","horrorstor-mxai","Horrorstör","Something is wrong at Orsk, the sprawling Scandinavian furniture superstore on the edge of Cleveland.

It doesn't take long to understand why.\n\nAs unsettling warnings pile up and the house's dark history stirs, Anna begins to suspect that the villa isn't merely the backdrop to her family's dysfunction — it may be feeding on it, or something far worse. Blending folk and gothic horror with the specific torment of being trapped with relatives who never listen, Diavola is atmospheric, mordantly witty, and steadily terrifying.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfh2pgpbmcpepnkwf92v848.jpg","L17K6u0100~C4R-p00yD*|M{?b-p",2024,296,[345],{"id":346,"slug":347,"name":348},"01kkfh2pgf2mr6v24f9zs88999","jennifer-marie-thorne-x57a","Jennifer Marie Thorne",[350,351,352,353,354],{"id":188,"name":189,"slug":190,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":73,"name":181,"slug":182,"is_fiction":19},{"id":151,"name":152,"slug":153,"is_fiction":19},{"id":355,"name":356,"slug":357,"is_fiction":19},52,"Paranormal Horror","paranormal-horror",[],{"pace":103,"complexity":10,"audience":105,"mood":360,"themes":361,"setting_period":10,"summary":364,"content_warnings":10},[107,109,293,108,198],[362,363],"family-saga","survival","Anna Pace is the black sheep of a family whose name ironically means \"peace.\" Their annual vacation lands them at a remote villa in Monteperso — a house the locals fear and shun.

It is short, relentless, and deliberately transgressive, using its motel-room frame to push graphic body horror and psychological cruelty to their limits.\n\nWoom is the first entry in Ralston's loosely linked Lonely Motel series.

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. Beneath the monster lies a portrait of a town poisoned by its own buried violence, and of the fragile, ferocious bonds that let a group of frightened kids stand against it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz47pqkwte0s6rtqpsy783n.jpg","LJBp98oe56of_Nj]M{j[KiWV$jbH",1987,1106,[475],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[477,478,479,480,481,482],{"id":392,"name":393,"slug":394,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":151,"name":152,"slug":153,"is_fiction":19},{"id":257,"name":258,"slug":259,"is_fiction":19},{"id":90,"name":155,"slug":156,"is_fiction":19},{"id":287,"name":288,"slug":289,"is_fiction":19},[484],{"id":485,"slug":486,"name":487,"position":405,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":10,"parent_slug":10,"parent_name":10},"01kvkk2ddsk2cqbfehehtvhbjj","derry-aelz","Derry",{"pace":489,"complexity":10,"audience":105,"mood":490,"themes":492,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},"slow",[107,491],"nostalgic",[493,265],"found-family",{"id":495,"slug":496,"title":497,"description":498,"primary_cover_url":499,"cover_blurhash":500,"first_publish_year":501,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":502,"authors":503,"genres":505,"series":516,"enrichment":517},"01kjr29qmzekd0f9vgmh79xw6t","the-stand-pk1u","The Stand","A weaponized strain of influenza escapes a military lab and, within weeks, kills more than ninety-nine percent of the human race.

Picture of Dorian Gray","When the painter Basil Hallward completes a portrait of the beautiful young Dorian Gray, Dorian makes an idle, despairing wish: that the picture might age in his place, and that he could stay forever as young and lovely as the day it was painted. His wish is granted. As Dorian, encouraged by the cynical, epigram-spouting Lord Henry Wotton, gives himself over to a life of pleasure, cruelty, and corruption, his face remains untouched — while the portrait, hidden away, grows monstrous with every sin.\n\nOscar Wilde's only novel is a dark fable of aestheticism, vanity, and moral consequence, as sharp in its wit as it is unsettling in its horror. Around Dorian's unchanging beauty, Wilde builds a Faustian parable about the cost of a life lived purely for sensation, and a portrait of Victorian society's obsession with surface and youth.\n\nFirst published in 1890 and expanded the following year, the book scandalised its first readers and remains one of the most enduring works of Gothic and philosophical fiction in English.","https:\u002F\u002Fcovers.openlibrary.org\u002Fb\u002Fid\u002F15156805-L.jpg","L06a#84:01%20500~l_1?I02~T-:",1890,"4.55",320,[743,747],{"id":744,"slug":745,"name":746},"01kjqtyw338nszf68q3cd3wx0q","oscar-wilde-e6uf","Oscar Wilde",{"id":748,"slug":749,"name":750},"01km6s1x9ssy8cykv6n0qy1by3","jennifer-wicke-skbg","Jennifer Wicke",[752,753,757,761,762,763,767,771],{"id":99,"name":450,"slug":451,"is_fiction":19},{"id":754,"name":755,"slug":756,"is_fiction":18},79,"Education","education",{"id":758,"name":759,"slug":760,"is_fiction":18},70,"History","history",{"id":90,"name":155,"slug":156,"is_fiction":19},{"id":188,"name":189,"slug":190,"is_fiction":19},{"id":764,"name":765,"slug":766,"is_fiction":19},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":768,"name":769,"slug":770,"is_fiction":18},105,"Philosophy","philosophy",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":103,"complexity":10,"audience":105,"mood":774,"themes":776,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[107,775],"reflective",[],{"id":778,"slug":779,"title":780,"description":781,"primary_cover_url":782,"cover_blurhash":783,"first_publish_year":784,"community_rating_avg":785,"community_rating_count":151,"page_count":786,"authors":787,"genres":792,"series":806,"enrichment":811},"01kkc59xpev4ye636d8gc91t0x","butcher-blackbird-dlap","Butcher & Blackbird","Sloane Sutherland and Rowan Kane are both serial killers — but they only kill other killers, the predators the law never catches. When their paths cross during a competitive, invitation-only \"game\" that turns vigilante murder into an annual contest, the two rivals strike up an unlikely friendship built on gallows humor, shared trauma, and a mutual appreciation for creative violence.\n\nWhat starts as banter and one-upmanship slowly deepens into something neither of them expected or knows how to handle. But Sloane and Rowan both carry wounds from the past, and as their bond grows, an old threat begins closing in — one tangled up in the reasons they each became what they are.\n\nThe first book in Brynne Weaver's Ruinous Love Trilogy, Butcher & Blackbird is a dark romantic comedy that swings between graphic horror and genuine tenderness. Following the Kane family and the dangerous women they love, it pairs an extremely violent premise with banter-driven, slow-burn romance — squarely for readers who like their love stories pitch-black.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktdgszdyydkh48rtdj6p9353.jpg?v=40768a213a","LLEm*4xa5OWB}uofI.ayE0Nt$+sW",2023,"3.70",351,[788],{"id":789,"slug":790,"name":791},"01kkc4vp6z6rx2a9c2y6pk9ypp","brynne-weaver-i0hs","Brynne Weaver",[793,796,800,804,805],{"id":104,"name":794,"slug":795,"is_fiction":19},"Romance","romance",{"id":797,"name":798,"slug":799,"is_fiction":19},37,"Dark Romance","dark-romance",{"id":801,"name":802,"slug":803,"is_fiction":19},38,"Romantic Comedy","romantic-comedy",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":151,"name":152,"slug":153,"is_fiction":19},[807],{"id":808,"slug":809,"name":810,"position":405,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":10,"parent_slug":10,"parent_name":10},"01kqngqdbfq0yhdermmwgmjs3m","the-ruinous-love-trilogy-oaim","The Ruinous Love Trilogy",{"pace":102,"complexity":10,"audience":105,"mood":812,"themes":813,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[107,231],[],{"id":815,"slug":816,"title":817,"description":818,"primary_cover_url":819,"cover_blurhash":820,"first_publish_year":821,"community_rating_avg":822,"community_rating_count":142,"page_count":823,"authors":824,"genres":829,"series":855,"enrichment":860},"01kjq6xfxmjv1fn3p3j0n03mk4","twilight-mjap","Twilight","When seventeen-year-old Isabella \"Bella\" Swan leaves sunny Phoenix to live with her father in the perpetually rain-soaked town of Forks, Washington, she expects little more than a dull, gray exile.

Their bond deepens into an intense, all-consuming romance, even as Bella learns that not every vampire shares the Cullens' restraint, and that being close to Edward may cost her everything.\n\nThe first book in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster Twilight Saga, this is a moody, atmospheric teen romance about desire, danger, and the pull between what we want and what is safe.
