Tremblay’s Head Full of Ghosts meets Mexican Gothic in Piñata, a terrifying tale of possession.

A house that doesn’t want to be sold.

The Destroyer of Worlds by Matt Ruff

HBO may have canceled the series based on Matt Ruff’s novel, but that doesn’t mean the story ended there. The author’s new horror novel continues the journey of Atticus, Montrose, Hippolyta, and others. The story takes them to the deep south and the deserts of Nevada – and to more old gods.
