Just some blurbs about why I nominated these.

Since horror is forever alone in the voting (close, but not oh, gawd I cannot spell today no cigar), I thought I'd nom Bird Box, since I've heard good general word-of-mouth things about it. I don't know if it will meet eurii's horror-lust, though. XD

The Last Dragonslayer is the only Jasper Fforde series that I haven't dipped a toe into yet, and since BCF has already read 2 Fforde books, I thought, "why not?" It is the first in a series, though (but there are 3 books out already).

And The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry seems more like a general sort of novel, although it could probably fit in romance, too. (This was my 3rd choice and I was wracking my brain for something general.)

I cannot guarantee that this will meet your needs, but it is overwhelmingly tagged as horror on GR. :-> From what people said in the reviews, it's more of a Japanese-style psychological horror deal, so it's probably not gonna be like Saw, haha.

I thought The Last Dragonslayer was a really sweet little book. I read it while I was on my maternity leave last year! Very different from Shades of Grey (which is my favorite favorite) but it's a fun YA book

Ugh, don't remind me about Shades of Grey. It seems Jasper is putting that series on the very back-burner, and I don't like it. He should clone himself. *nods*

But glad to hear that his other book was good. I am normally leery of YA, but I am hoping there are no romantic triangles in this series, since Jasper doesn't usually do that.
