I read Amityville when it first came out and it scared the crap out of me. So much so that myself and a friend went to go see it. It felt weird parked in front of it on the street. Little did I realize not until 10 years or so ago tha i live only 2 miles away from the actual Conjuring house.

You have no idea. Years ago some friends and myself went thru a haunting of another friend. Went on for months. Now that was spooky.

Ive been trying to write this story for years as a paranormal horror fiction story with the truth as the center of it. But i get in a few chapters and i kinda get lost .But the true story is frightening when its you that is part of it
Byt ill try to write a brief story here so you can get the gist of it.
Until the Last of Me (Take Them to the Stars #2) I really enjoyed A History of What Comes Next(such a great title), so I'm listening to the 2nd one now.
Live Girls by Ray Garton
Somehow I have never read anything by Ray Garton. "Sleazy" is a word I keep seeing to describe this book, so I'm hoping for some Brian De Palma-style inappropriateness.
I'm starting many books and not finishing any. The two latest ones are The house next door by Anne River siddons and Growing things and other stories by Paul Tremblay.
Hidden Pictures Excited to give this a try. Maybe it's juvenile, but I still love pictures in novels.

Have you read other Nick Cutter books? You really can't go wrong with anything by him.

Anno Dracula by Kim Newman"
I loved that one so much! I bought the second immediately after I finished. Still haven't read it though.

I need to reread that, and I've never gone further in the series. However, connected to the series is The Man from the Diogenes Club, a series of novellas and short stories set in the same world about the titular man. Great fun reading.

The only Nick Cutter I've read is The Troop. I loved it and was paranoid about certain things related to the book for a long time after I read it! Haha. I need to read more of his books for sure.
I'm reading Wanderers and I'm slightly disappointed. It started out so strong! I'm just past halfway and I feel like I need to force myself to keep going. The Book of Accidents is still my favorite Chuck Wendig book by far! There's just something almost magical about that one.

Anno Dracula by Kim Newman"
I've read the first 3 in this series. They're so good. And this reminded me there are more books in the series I want to read so I went ahead and ordered them. A huge towering tbr never hurt anyone, right?

It was my 1st one, but it was really good!
Now I'm listening to Hyperion. I suggested it for the 1st group read of a gen x Discord server I'm in. I own the Audible.
I loved the Hyperion books back in the day. Hope you enjoy it!
I'm starting

It's a little like going from the sublime to the ridiculous, but I was surprised how much Amityville got under my skin while reading it.
I second the recommendation of Hell House.
