Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.” (Goodreads) For those of you who want something a little scary, but not terrifying and lacks ghosts and monsters, this is it. You can’t have a scary book list without including at least one Stephen King book, but the question is, how do you choose just one? Mr Mercedes is the first in the Bill Hodges trilogy, with Finders Keepers being number 2 and it will be completed in 2016 with End of Watch. After Amy is accused of a horrible crime Piper and Margot begin to unveil those secrets of their past and uncover what has haunted them and the hotel for all those years. They all grew up in or near a Vermont motel which during Rose and Sylvie’s childhood was an exciting place to be, but by Amy, Piper, and Margot’s childhood it is just a creepy empty building full of secrets. It follows Rose and Sylvie as kids, Amy (the daughter of Rose), Piper, and Margot as kids, and then Piper and Margot as adults. All of the above or none of the above? This book will keep you guessing right to the very end. “A mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed, raising vexing questions about memory and reality, science and religion, and the very nature of evil.” (Goodreads) A Head Full of Ghosts follows Merry who is the younger sister of Marjorie, a teenage girl that shows signs of acute schizophrenia and whose parent’s eventually look to God and Religion for help spiritually and a reality TV show gig for financial help. If you’re looking for something in the way of The Exorcist, this is the way to go. The images are fantastic and if you loved NOS4A2 you’ll love this as well. This is a graphic novel prequel to NOS4A2 and it is just as terrifying, but in a fraction of the time! It mixes childhood whimsy with sociopathic craziness.
With vehicles that take you where you need to go, kidnapping, vampires, and children that make the Children of the Corn look like puppies, this spooky book is a winner.
Victoria McQueen escaped Charlie Manx’s clutches when she was a kid, the only kid ever to do so in fact, so now Charlie has come back to exact his revenge. What could possibly be horrifying about a place called “Christmasland”? Everything. This book is long, but well worth your time.
