About the book
A homicide detective’s violent family history repeats itself in #1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh’s novel of murder, secrets, and retribution.

Teaming up with Justin’s old friend, former sheriff’s investigator and K-9 handler Matt Flynn, Bree vows to uncover the secrets of her sister’s life and death, as she promised Erin’s children. But as her investigation unfolds, the danger hits close to home. Once again, Bree’s family is caught in a death grip. And this time, it could be fatal for her.

Our take
Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brianna Labuskes launches the Raisa Susanto series with The Lies You Wrote, an Editors’ Pick in Mystery, Thriller & Suspense. Rated 4.2 out of 5 stars, this gripping psychological thriller follows a forensic linguist unraveling murders linked to a decades-old crime. Twisty, chilling, and impossible to put down.
Choose your retailer
About the book
For a brilliant forensic linguist, crimes of the past hold clues to new series of murders in a twisting novel of suspense by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of A Familiar Sight.
The double murder of a married couple in a small Washington town draws FBI forensic linguist Raisa Susanto into an investigation that mirrors a decades-old crime. Twenty-five years ago—to the day—Alex Parker murdered his parents, then took his own life, leaving behind a note admitting everything.
Raisa, paired with forensic psychologist Callum Kilkenny, uses her skills to read between the lines. Especially now that paranoid postings on a conspiracy thread suggest that Alex was a victim himself—theories that have piqued the interest of a perceptive content moderator and a true-crime podcaster eager for a big break.
As old and new crimes converge, messages from the living and the confessions of the dead take on new meaning for Raisa. Something more sinister than a copycat crime is at play, and plundering the darkest corners of a killer’s mind leaves her vulnerable to a deadly twist even she never saw coming.

Our take
Peter Clines’ 14 is a genre-bending thriller packed with locked doors, hidden mysteries, and cosmic dread. When Nate and his neighbors begin uncovering the secrets of their strange Los Angeles apartment building, they realize the puzzles stretch back a century—and may threaten reality itself. With a 4.4 out of 5 stars rating, this cult favorite delivers chills.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Nate’s new apartment is cheap, conveniently located, and… strange.
The padlocked doors, odd wiring, and mutant cockroaches should bother him more than they do, but Nate has bigger worries. His job is miserable, his bank account is empty, and his future feels nonexistent. For now, the quirks of the building are just background noise.
Until he starts comparing notes with his neighbors. Mandy. Xela. Tim. Veek. Each apartment hides secrets that don’t add up. The further they dig into the building’s history, the stranger—and more impossible—the discoveries become.
What begins as curiosity spirals into something catastrophic. Because the mysteries of this Los Angeles brownstone don’t just threaten Nate and his friends. Solving them could unravel reality itself. And the clock is already ticking.

Memory becomes a battleground in a world where the most dangerous threats erase themselves as they strike.
There Is No Antimemetics Division
Sci-Fi · Horror · Cosmic Horror · Eldritch Horror · Techno-Thriller
Our take
Memory becomes a battleground in a world where the most dangerous threats erase themselves as they strike. There Is No Antimemetics Division follows the people trying to contain entities that devour identity, perception, and reality itself, even as the evidence keeps vanishing around them. This is cerebral science-fiction horror with existential dread, formal ingenuity, and the unnerving feeling that something vital has already been lost.

Carrion Comfort
Horror · Thriller · Occult Horror
Our take
Called “one of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century” by Stephen King, Dan Simmons’ Carrion Comfort is a genre-defining masterpiece. From Nazi death camps to secret societies of psychic predators, it reshapes history into a nightmare of violence and control. With a 4.4 out of 5 stars rating, this classic of dark fantasy and horror still chills.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In Carrion Comfort, horror is both timeless and terrifying.
Saul Laski should have died in Chelmno extermination camp. Instead, he encounters an evil older than the Nazis themselves—an evil that manipulates human minds, feeding on violence and cruelty. The psychic predators behind history’s darkest acts can subjugate, control, and kill through others, leaving humanity as nothing more than pawns.
Decades later, Saul’s survival becomes obsession. He hunts the hidden society whose annual gatherings spark chaos across the globe. But this time, something has gone wrong. Enemies clash, alliances fracture, and the secret war spills into the open.
Dan Simmons delivers a monumental tale of predator and prey, where the darkest monsters are not supernatural alone—they are human hunger, sharpened to a deadly edge.

Under The Skin
Thriller · Psychological Thriller
Our take
Michel Faber’s Under the Skin—the inspiration for the Scarlett Johansson film—is a chilling blend of sci-fi, horror, and satire. Following Isserley, a scarred predator prowling the Scottish Highlands, this unsettling novel tests the limits of empathy and dread. With a 4.2 out of 5 stars rating, it’s a haunting ride readers won’t forget.
Choose your retailer
About the book
On the lonely roads of the Scottish Highlands, Isserley hunts.
Scarred and strangely magnetic, she drives the countryside picking up hitchhikers who share their lives in casual conversation. They don’t know she’s studying them, weighing who might be missed if they vanish. Her questions seem harmless. Her silence is not.
Michel Faber’s Under the Skin is part thriller, part horror, and part grotesque satire. It lures you into the intimacy of a car ride before veering into something stranger, darker, and disturbingly humane.
This is not just the story of a predator. It is a meditation on compassion, cruelty, and the blurry boundaries between human and inhuman.
Every encounter is a test. And every ride might be their last.
