When Things Get Dark: Stories Inspired By Shirley Jackson

TipToe by Laird Barron ★★★★★ 

That sent shivers all the way up my spine and down again for more.  I listened to the end three times.  

The Key of Ahknaton by Graeme Rodaughan ★★★★★

If Chloe is your favorite character this one’s for you.  Even if she isn’t, prologue aside, this is the best book Graeme has written.   The factions, the surprises, the violence, the body count - good times.
