From Little Stack
If you love fantasy horror where the rules exist, but you just don’t understand them until you get deeper into the story, then The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher is a must for your list. It starts simply enough with clearing out a relative’s house. But then comes the discovery of strange carvings. A cryptic journal. And the sense that someone, somewhere, was following a very specific set of rituals… for a very good reason.
And here’s where it gets good. The tension rises, and there are patterns, phrases, boundaries abound. Things you must do and things you absolutely shouldn’t. Cross the line, ignore the ritual, and something notices. And, trust me, this isn’t a good thing.
That slow realization, that you’ve stepped into a system already in motion, is what makes this book so unsettling. The rituals of The Twisted Ones creeps up on you… and doesn’t let go even long after the reading is done.
Winner of the RUSA Award for Best Horror
When a young woman clears out her deceased grandmother’s home in rural North Carolina, she finds long-hidden secrets about a strange colony of beings in the woods in this chilling novel that reads like The Blair Witch Project meets The Andy Griffith Show.
When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be? Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more—Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants…until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.
Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrors—because sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they’re looking for you. And if she doesn’t face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale.
From Hugo Award–winning author Ursula Vernon, writing as T. Kingfisher, The Twisted Ones is a gripping, terrifying tale bound to keep you up all night—from both fear and anticipation of what happens next.
