“The Road” by Cormac McCarthy held me captive, staying up all night immersed in its pages, awakening the next morning with a lingering sense of melancholy. Stephen King’s works, especially “The Shining,” share that unique ability to make you eagerly anticipate the next page, constantly wondering what twist awaits.
Bird Box, Josh Malerman. I started it at 9:30pm thinking I’d read a few chapters and then go to bed.
Finished it at 1am, and then had nightmares for weeks.
Great book.
