If you were fascinated by Amanda's unsettling descent in Come Closer, you'll be riveted by The Cipher. This novel follows Nicholas and Nakota as they discover a mysterious black hole in their apartment—an anomaly that preys upon their psyches and transforms their lives in disturbing, unpredictable ways. Like Amanda, the characters' internal struggles and deteriorating mental states are front and center, making for a deeply immersive and disquieting experience.

If Amanda's warped narration in Come Closer kept you guessing, you'll love Merricat's voice in We Have Always Lived in the Castle. The story is told through Merricat's eyes, and her perspective is as unreliable as it is compelling, revealing just enough to keep you second-guessing what’s real and what’s imagined. The claustrophobic atmosphere and creeping sense of dread are a perfect match for fans of Sara Gran’s style.

If you were drawn to the bleak, unsettling tone of Amanda's possession in Come Closer, you’ll be captivated by Yeong-hye’s spiral in The Vegetarian. This novel chronicles a woman’s abrupt decision to stop eating meat, which spirals into a disturbing transformation and alienation from her family. The atmosphere is tense and haunting, with the same sense of creeping dread and psychological intensity.

If the shocking revelations in Come Closer kept you turning pages, The Silent Patient will deliver those same chills. This psychological thriller follows Alicia, who shoots her husband and then refuses to speak, unraveling secrets through the eyes of her therapist. The story is packed with clever twists and a final reveal that will leave you reeling.

If you appreciated how Come Closer conjured unease with just a few details and a tightly focused setting, The Turn of the Screw will haunt you in the best way. The novella uses sparse, ambiguous description to create an atmosphere of psychological horror, where the real terror lurks in what is left unsaid and unexplained. The sense of ambiguity and mounting dread is powerfully effective.
