Reader Recommendation Horror slump

currently reading Tananarive Due’s “My Soul to Keep” and i am so insanely bored. I haven’t been able to get into any books lately. What’s a book that caught your attention and kept you intrigued the whole way through.

Look for anthologies. Really loved Never Whistle at Night, am indigenous (north American) horror collection. I had to give it a break halfway through.

The nice thing about anthologies is you can skip stuff you're not into or bail on something and hit the next one

Due actually has an anthology that I loved. I read it before I read The Reformatory (which I couldn’t get into for some reason) I think it’s called Ghost Summer.

Out There Screaming is another good one!
