I read 16 books in January to kick off 2019. Of those the vast majority were horror, this, largely thanks to the awesome non-fiction by Grady Hendrix Paperbacks from Hell.
My horror binge also included a reread of one of my favorite horror novels by Stephen King, Rose Madder. Whilst not King's most recognized novel, I think it stacks up with his best, if not for the horror and fantastical elements, then certainty from a character perspective.
Some January reads highlights include The Omen by David Seltzer. I can't believe it took me this long to finally delve into this book. I've got the sequel but have heard mixed reviews about it. This, thought, is great. Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry, and We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix.
As good as the above books are, the one that really stood out was The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North. There were so many elements to this book which made it such a meaty yet satisfying and easily consumable read. Can't recommend this enough.
