Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes
5.0
This was a fun, atmospheric book for fans of 90s/00s movies like Ghost Ship, Haunting of Hill House, etc.
I've seen that some reviewers don't like this book because "it doesn't add anything new" to the genre, but I'd argue that that's why I loved it. There wasn't anything ultra revolutionary, but it played on a nostalgia of mine for the horror movies I loved as a teen. I listened to the audiob0ok for this and THE ACTING omg. The narrator puts so much passion into the work, and you can hear the fear in her voice as the story plays out.
I was listening to it in chunks, then last night I just sat down and devoured the second half (about five hours) in one sitting. I had so, so much fun with this!
