For my horror genre book, I read House of Leaves.
I gave a potent intro to the book in my kirkus style review, so here is the additional info you may need:
Characteristics that fit into horror:
- Dark mood/tone
- Monster (maybe) and a supernatural element
- Many unresolved aspects
- Protagonist haunted
- Unexpected often happens
- Evokes emotional response, though with the typical style of horror, as this book has a large philosophical aspect
- Storyline does not follow a logical order
Some read-a-likes:
- The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall
- The Shining by Stephen King
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
- The House by Bentley Little
