If you enjoyed the way Horrorstör mixed scares with snarky humor and absurd situations—like Orsk employees battling supernatural forces with flat-pack furniture—you’ll love My Best Friend's Exorcism. Here, Hendrix delivers sharp wit and biting 1980s nostalgia as Abby fights to save her best friend Gretchen from a demonic possession, leading to both laughs and chills.
If the quirky team dynamic of Amy, Ruth Anne, and Basil navigating the haunted IKEA knock-off in Horrorstör drew you in, The Library at Mount Char will grip you with its unforgettable cast. Hawkins crafts a group of 'siblings' apprenticed to a mysterious godlike figure, each with their own eccentricities, as they unravel the secrets of a cosmic library—and each other.
If you were hooked by Amy and her coworkers’ tense, mission-driven quest to survive and uncover the truth behind Orsk’s horrors, you’ll appreciate The Ballad of Black Tom. Charles Thomas Tester is drawn into a dangerous world of Lovecraftian horror, compelled by necessity and survival, as he faces otherworldly threats on the streets of 1920s New York.
If you loved the breakneck pacing and the creeping dread as the Orsk store became a labyrinth of terror, Harrow Lake delivers that same intensity. Lola is trapped in a bizarre, horror-movie-obsessed town where reality and nightmare blur, and the story moves breathlessly as she unravels hidden secrets to escape alive.
If the faux-IKEA catalog format and clever textual tricks of Horrorstör delighted you, House of Leaves is a must-read. Danielewski’s cult classic uses footnotes, multiple narrators, and documents within documents to tell the story of a house that’s bigger on the inside, blurring the line between reader and story in truly unsettling ways.
