Ronald Malfi recommends
Memorials (2024)
Richard Chizmar
"Taut with tension and an increasing sense of doom, Memorials will leave you gasping for breath by the time you reach the final few pages. A pure horrific delight."
Violent Faculties (2024)
Charlene Elsby
"Fierce, clever, and wholly unapologetic, Charlene Elsby's Violent Faculties will mash your brain into mush."
What Kind of Mother (2023)
Clay McLeod Chapman
"A tremendous, heartbreaking work of dark fiction, where the horror seeps in quietly until you're left drowning. You won't forget about this tale anytime soon. A masterpiece."
