Happy December! The shortest day of the year where I live is fast approaching, as is the cold snow.
There are 14 books that caught my eye – lucky 13 plus one more from November. I added in two thrillers and you’ll also find quite a few story collections here. Two things I read more of in the winter months are short stories and oddball thrillers.
Mentioned herein:
Side Stories: Dig Me A Grave w/ Dick Harpootlian – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0IJ6Bzm6d8
Jenna Miscavige On The Church Of Scientology | LADbible Stories – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aer5S78hiZ8
Last winter I read some Riley Sager books and found them incredibly cozy. When I saw the vast amount of wintery thrillers I decided I wanted a few on the list. There are also not as many stand-alone horror books out in the winter for whatever reason. Maybe we use up all of our creative juices in the fall and harvest season and writers are all busy writing. I know I am!
Do you read short cozy stories in the dim months of winter, or cozy up with a thriller?

I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
✮ Thank you! ✮
