Book recommendations

[lunaxandlillet]

Hi all

I just read Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver.

Any recommendations for something like that? Gothic, atmospheric, supernatural. Any suggestions please?

Many thanks

• not read your book but this book I think fits your description.

@RiverLen Thank you, I like your suggestion

Just to let you know I'm reading the book you recommended and I got it from my library last week 🙂👍

Hope you enjoy it.

I’d recommend…

The Gifts by Liz Hyder
The Binding by Bridget Collins
Any of Laura Purcell’s books
Weyward by Emilia Hart
The Lighthouse Witches by C.J Cooke
Once Upon A River and The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
The Asylum by Karen Cole
The Shadow in the Glass by JJA Harteood
The Winter Garden by Alexandra Bell
The Toy Makers by Robert Dinsdale
The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal

This is my favourite genre! (The Snow Child is gorgeous- hope you are enjoying it!)

Oh, I also liked The Shadow in the Glass! You could consider that one!

Any of the Carlos Ruiz Zafon books

Rosemarys Baby by Ira Levin. Have seen the movie but the book is amazing. Just finished it in 2 days

The Ash series by James Herbert
The Secret of Crickley Hall
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

The Kate Morton books strike that chord as well in my opinion, though more mysterious than supernatural.

I've got a stack of Purcell waiting for me! Love a haunted house story.

I love Blackbird House by Alice Hoffman. Its linked short stories all set in the same house.

Agree, Wakenhyrst was brilliant !

The Witchfinders Sister by Beth Underdown

The Taxidermists Daughter by Kate Mosse

Pine by Francine Toon

The Essex Serpent
