Horror readers—strap in, it’s about to get feral! 🦌
March is creeping in—snow melting, woods stirring, shadows stretching a little farther than they should. Perfect month for a story that reminds you spring isn’t always gentle.

March’s Read:
Spend these thawing, restless March weeks diving into The Wendigogo by K.A. Silva, a sharp, eerie novel that mixes Indigenous folklore, panic, and the kind of wilderness terror that makes every rustle in the underbrush feel personal.

🌲 We’ll meet at the end of March to unpack myth, memory, and whatever’s rustling out there now that the snow’s melting—supernatural or self-inflicted.

When The Windigogo hit the horror scene, readers immediately locked onto its relentless pace and chilling atmosphere. Silva weaves together Indigenous legend and modern fear, following teens who venture into the woods only to discover that hunger—real hunger—can take many shapes. It’s clever, claustrophobic, and full of teeth.

If you like your horror fast, feral, and rooted in something older than any of us, this is your March pick.

If you enjoy:

Indigenous-inspired horror, folklore, survival stories

Trigger Warnings:
Body horror, stalking, possession, isolation, violence, gore, intense fear, and predatory supernatural entities.

Goodreads rating: 5 stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Deserved.)

Grab a blanket, a beverage, and keep the lights on—The Wendigogo doesn’t care how brave you think you are.

See you in March, book fam.

April’s Horror Pick: Play Nice
Author: Rachel Harrison

For April, our Horror Book Club is reading Play Nice — a sharp, modern haunted-house novel about memory, motherhood, and the stories we tell to survive 🕯️🏚️.

Clio Louise Barnes appears to have it all: a curated life as a stylist and influencer, a flawless aesthetic, and a past she prefers to keep neatly edited. But beneath the gloss lies a childhood spent in a house her mother claimed was possessed. Not haunted. Possessed.

After her parents’ bitter divorce, Clio’s mother, Alex, moved her daughters into the house—and later lost custody after insisting a demon lived there. The courts didn’t believe her. Neither did Clio’s sisters. Alex even wrote a book about her experience, one Clio has never read 📖🖤.

When Alex dies suddenly, the house passes to the sisters. Where the others see trauma best left buried, Clio sees potential content: a renovation, a rebrand, a fresh start. But as the makeover begins and long-suppressed memories surface, Clio starts to wonder if her mother was telling the truth after all. Something in the house is watching. Waiting. And it wants to be heard 🕳️.

Unsettling, intimate, and deeply psychological, Play Nice explores how horror can live in families, in houses, and in the silence around what we refuse to remember.

Join us this April to read, reflect, and sit with the discomfort. All are welcome—especially those who like their horror quiet, creeping, and a little too close to home 📖🕯️🖤.

May’s Horror Pick: Mexican Gothic
Author: Silvia Moreno-Garcia

After receiving a desperate letter from her newly married cousin, Noemí Taboada travels to High Place, a remote house in the Mexican countryside. She doesn’t know what she’ll find there: her cousin’s mysterious English husband is a stranger, and the house itself looms with quiet menace.

Noemí is an unlikely rescuer. A glamorous debutante more accustomed to cocktail parties than investigations, she arrives armed with sharp wit, perfect red lipstick, and an unshakable will 💄🖤. She is unafraid—of the menacing husband, the ancient patriarch fascinated by her, or the house that creeps into her dreams with visions of blood and ruin.

Her only ally is the family’s youngest son, shy and gentle, yet possibly complicit in the dark legacy buried beneath High Place. As Noemí uncovers the rot behind the family’s wealth and mining empire, she finds violence, madness, and secrets that refuse to stay hidden 👁️🏚️.

Lush, eerie, and hypnotic, Mexican Gothic explores colonial power, femininity, and the terror of being trapped inside a beautiful, decaying world that does not want to let you go.

Join us this May to read, reflect, and descend into the gothic. All are welcome—especially those who like their horror atmospheric, seductive, and slow-burning 📖🕯️🌫️.
