Southern Gothic readers, your time has come! DARLING is available for review on NetGalley at last. Some things are best kept in the rearview, and Darling, Louisiana, is one of those things. A single mom’s return is the haunting cautionary tale of what hell may come in small towns where evil walks tall. Links: links.ruadanbooks.com/DEW links.ruadanbooks.com/DNG links.ruadanbooks.com/DUK This small town horror meets domestic thriller meets haunted house story would make great weekend reading. Just saying. #booktwt #horror #prerelease #bookrecommendation #horrorbooks #thriller #thrillerbooks
