I’m ashamed to say I’ve read fewer than half of these, but at least this means I have quite a lot of (unknown to me) books to seek out!

Eh The Ritual is a great movie, and I wish the movie had more of part1 of the book in it. But part2 of the book was ...not the best.

House of leaves dosnt really deserve to be #6 on the list. Interesting book though.

What are your top 3?

I did quite enjoy the original novel of The Ritual but I’m surprised to see it take the number 1 spot. I’m also a fan of House of Leaves.

Of the 25 books here, my top three would John Langan’s The Fisherman (he is a superb writer); the Ligotti collection; and the Laird Barron collection.
