Give me a good horoor book that has been relesed in the last 10 years
Im saying ten years who people wont recommend sleeping pills like IT, I tried reading it, but I feel clowns are 0% scary
Points for unique concept/story with supernautral/paranormal stuff and not just ''killers''
Check out Joe Hill aka Stephen King's literal son. I've only read NOS4A2 (which I think fits what you're asking for, btw) but all of his books are supposed to be pretty good.
>wanting to be scared of books
Not very /lit/ desu
Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy.
Adam Nevill's books are good, unique, and supernatural. The Ritual is great for innawoods scary. Last Days is good for spoopy skellingtons.
Also, not last ten years, but Naomi's Room is worth reading.
Question: is horror dying as a literary genre due to the advance of technology? Will horror become a genre populated by period pieces and sci-fi horror?
Even in movies they have to write around the existence of cell phones by saying, "Oh, we're too far out for them to work." Before that, when it was just landlines, they had to say, "The line's dead/the cord's been cut."
I wish Barker didn't get old writer syndrome. None of his more recent books come even close to the level he was writing at during his Books of Blood days.

It's dying due to the demystification of sexuality
Newspapers are the new Horror Novels.
They were also the old Horror Novels but these things tend to come full circle.

Nah, it has to adapt though. I don't think technology could bother a genre like psychological horror.
Has /lit/ seen Babadook?
