A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw does not disappoint when it comes to an eerie atmosphere and a building mystery. A History of Wild Places is the author’s first adult book, and I felt Ernshaw overall did a good job transitioning out from YA.

The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon is a page-turning read filled with hauntingly beautiful prose that chills to the bone.

Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power is filled with dark secrets, unsettling atmosphere, and a mystery the Nielsen women have been keeping for generations.

THE SILENT COMPANIONS is a haunting read you won’t soon forget with its chilling mystery and Gothic touches of horror. This is the kind of story fans of Gothic literature crave and are going to devour for its original idea using “silent companions” which evoke such an unsettling feeling in its readers.
