Sort of related, but would totally recommend 'uncanny' podcast series on BBC sounds! Absolutely amazing, based on real life ghost/unexplained stories. I am completely addicted and season 2 is just launching! Worth a shot if you like podcasts.

Man you were lucky @MsAlder - I had no idea he was so hot! And yes Hex is very scary

Now I couldnt get on with his follow up, must try again.

Did you read it in Dutch or in English. The original version of Hex had a not great ending which was changed for the English version. Oracle was also pretty good. Struggling with the new one.

A sincere warning about the entity in your home. Bloody creepy as.

Apparently Ron Howard has bought the rights to make it into a film

I read Hex in English and loved it (although honestly can't remember the ending so must reread!) I just haven't found Echo to be as gripping. Not really interested in the characters so far 😕

I know you're probably looking for a book but hear me out Grin this is the last thing I read that genuinely gave me chills. I started it in the bath one day and didn't come out until I was a prune haha.
