What horror novels/movies have you enjoyed? Or what kind of horror in general?

[(Anonymous)]

Try "A Head Full of Ghosts" by Paul Tremblay. It wasn't exactly 'scary' but it was horrifying. And memorable.

[kaijinscendre]

It is a super dense book that took me over a year to read. But, it had one of my favorite lines from a horror novel.

Spoilers!

At which point, the study door suddenly swings open and Daisy, wearing a red and gold dress, barges in and begins tugging on her father's sleeve.

"Come play with me, Daddy." Navidson lifts his daughter onto his lap. "Okay. What do you want to play?" "I don't know," she shrugs. "Always." "What's always?' But before she can answer, he starts tickling her around the neck and Daisy dissolves into bursts of delight.

Despite the tremendous amount of material generated by Exploration A, no one has ever commented on the game Daisy wants to play with her father, perhaps because everyone assumes it is either a request "to play always" or just a childish neologism. Then again "always" slightly mispronounces "hallways." It also echoes it.

YEAH THAT PART!

What's the significance of "echoes it" here? It's been several years since I've reread so I might be missing something obvious.

always is what you would hear if hallways is echoed

[kaijinscendre]

That chapter had focused a lot on echos so it was a callback to that. I also like to think it implies that his daughter had been playing in the hallways of the house (while not being in danger at that point).

Parts of this book I loved, others fell flat for me. Do you prefer less experimental/meta storytelling? I found it fun in this book but sometimes a bit up its own ass. Which worked at points and didn't at others, just my personal opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it had some interesting pieces but it didn't do remotely enough character work to actually get me invested in the fate of anyone in the story, which really cuts down the efficcacy of horror for me

for me, T Kingfisher's "The Hollow Places" was creepy as hell - it even starts with a similar "impossible space" before the explorations go off totally different rails.
