Ooh, I'm currently waiting for my library hold of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop to come through. It looks so lovely, so I'm hoping it'll be good.

I heard a lot of good things about The Indian Lake trilogy, but I'm not very familiar with the horror genre. Would this be a good starting place?

It was honestly such a cozy and feel-good book! I hope you enjoy it :D

I wouldn't rec Indian Lake for someone not very familiar with horror. It has a buuunch of Horror movie references and the writing is... interesting, to say the least. I think any Darcy Coates novel could be a good introduction! Erin A. Craig also has some great YA Horror books to dip your toes in.

Looking forward to it then! My library hold says it'll be ready in a month so fingers crossed.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check Darcy Coates out. Is there any specific novel you would suggest, or should I just randomly choose one?

*fingers crossed*

I think with Darcy, you can just start with the book that sounds more interesting to you! She's written haunted house horror (The Carrow Haunt), winter/apocalyptic horror (Dead of Winter and Voices in the Snow), survival horror (Hunted), aquatic horror (From Below)... there are a lot of possibilities :D
