#bookstodon This is a recommendation for the southern gothic #horror book "Burn Our Bodies Down" by Rory Power. I finished it at 4am, which was stupid, but worth it.
The novel has a slow start. There's a lot of teen angsty inner monologue.
Yet this is well crafted horror on multiple levels, setting an atmosphere, stirring your curiosity, making you care about the folks in the story despite all their flaws.

So does anyone remember the story of the guy who rented a "supposedly haunted house" and had so many weird and menacing unexplained things happen that they moved out long before a year was out.
IIRC this was in the Carolinas, but definitely in the Southern US.
