I’m trying to develop some healthier habits, including reading more instead of scrolling Reddit in my downtime. But the issue I’m encountering is that most of the book recs for new stuff these days is geared heavily toward women. No shade to all the dark romance/romantasy/dark academia/academia romantasy/romantic darkness/etc genres, but there’s not a whole lot of appeal for me. I’ve read all the Cormac McCarthy I can, fellas. I need some new stuff. Horror is especially preferred, if you can recommend it. I just finished The Dark Thing, by John Ashley which I enjoyed okay, and Nod by Adrian Barnes, which I enjoyed immensely and finished in one sitting. About the only ones I couldn’t stomach are the extreme horror like Cows and Tender is the Flesh (though one was much, much worse than the other). submitted by /u/HeySpudEyeSeeYou
