In The Tall Grass by Stephen King and Joe Hill

Horror is not one of my favourite genres but I dip my toes into the pool once in a while. It was a bad reading slump when I first came across this one. Hadn't read a book for months but finished this one cover to cover, in a matter of couple of hours. For someone who understands the genius of Stephen King this is not surprising. Add Joe Hill into the mix and you have a party.

In The Tall Grass is all about building up that suspense. You know something is wrong right from the start. You know the protagonists are making a terrible mistake when they get out of their car. You want to yell at them to stop but you are compelled to keep reading. The silence and the voices are all eerie. Even when it is not an audiobook but prose on paper. It's an experience that can't be explained. Though I wouldn't willingly recommend horror to people but this is a decent place to start, considering it is a novella.
