Holly by Stephen King (2023)

I am very grateful to live in a time when Stephen King is still writing new, thrilling books that are so carefully and skillfully crafted. The universe is conspiring to make me happy.  5/5 Stars.

14 by Peter Clines (2012)

This odd horror / mystery story is well-crafted and fun.  Clines' use of the H.P. Lovecraft's magic system is consistent and extremely well done. I was completely engrossed and trying to solve the mystery. Recommended. 5/5 Stars.
