Horror novels!

Paul Tremblay's "The Cabin at the End of the World" is a bottle episode horror, with seven characters trapped in a cabin, four of them believing that the apocalypse is about to happen, and three trying to escape. It's EXTREMELY tense and dark.

Brian Hodge's "The Immaculate Void" is pure cosmic horror - the protagonist, Daphne, was kidnapped and nearly murdered as a child. As an adult, she's spent her life trying to track down her captor's other victims, but grows to realize that something larger is moving towards her.

David Nickle's "Eutopia" and "Volk:" the first book takes place in a eugenicist colony in rural Idaho, where experiments meant to create the perfect human have resulted in a monster being unleashed. The second one takes place in 1930s Germany fifteen years later, where the Nazis attempt to harness the monsters to their own purposes. Both books have a very strong atmosphere/sense of place, and not a small amount of body horror.

T. Kingfisher's "The Twisted Ones:" Mouse is asked by her father to clean out her dead grandmother's house in North Carolina. She finds her step-grandfather's journal, which she initially dismissed as dementia-induced ravings - until the creatures he wrote about start to appear outside the house. Strong atmosphere. Also, the dog survives!

Gemma Files' "Experimental Film" follows a film history professor named Lois Cairns, who sets out to investigate a forgotten Canadian filmmaker from the early twentieth century, only to discover that the films are haunted by a hungry Scandanavian ghost - who now has her eyes set on Lois's son.

Oh my gosh, these all look great, and there's only one I've even heard of before (the Paul Tremblay one). I'm especially excited about the Brian Hodge one, because I've consistently liked the short stories of his that I've read, and "pure cosmic horror" is my kryptonite. That one is going on the library hold list AS SOON as I get through my Yuletide reading.

Thank you so much!
