If you were drawn to the unsettling, nightmarish tone and psychological suspense in The Changeling, you'll be riveted by Mexican Gothic. Follow Noemí as she descends into a decaying mansion filled with secrets, much as Apollo faces the creeping dread of supernatural forces in New York. Both novels expertly blend horror and folklore into the modern world, creating an atmosphere where every shadow could be dangerous.

If the mythological undertones and folklore-infused horror of The Changeling fascinated you, you'll find The Fisherman equally compelling. Like Apollo’s journey into ancient faerie myths haunting his modern life, Langan’s tale weaves Hudson Valley legends into a contemporary story of grief and supernatural menace. Both books channel the uncanny, using myth to deepen the terror.

If you appreciated Apollo’s morally complex choices and the way he navigates a world filled with both mundane and magical dangers, you’ll be drawn to Charles Thomas Tester in The Ballad of Black Tom. Tester is equally layered, making difficult decisions as he’s pulled deeper into cosmic horror and the racism of 1920s New York, offering a similarly uneasy exploration of right and wrong.

If you found yourself gripped by Apollo’s emotional unraveling as he faces terrifying, inexplicable events, The Only Good Indians will resonate with you. Jones’ novel also plumbs the depths of its characters’ guilt, fear, and grief, as four friends confront a haunting rooted in their past. Both books use horror to explore the psychological scars of family and tradition.

If you loved how The Changeling brought New York City to life, blending its everyday grit with the fantastic and terrifying, you’ll be swept up in The City We Became. Jemisin’s characters literally embody the city’s spirit, battling a cosmic threat in a story where the urban landscape is as important as the people inhabiting it. Both novels revel in the strange magic lurking beneath city streets.
