Small Favors
by Craig, Erin A.
Ellerie Downing lives in the isolated town of Amity Falls, a place defined by its rigid routines and the deep, silent woods that press against its borders. When the town begins to suffer from mysterious occurrences and vanishing supplies, the community turns on itself, trading safety for suspicion. The tension here is thick and claustrophobic, mirroring the way the forest seems to shrink the world around the characters. It is less about jump scares and more about the slow, creeping realization that the monsters are not just in the trees, but potentially sitting at your own dinner table. This is for readers who enjoy gothic-tinged horror that prioritizes psychological dread over gore. If you like stories where the setting functions as a character and the feeling of impending doom is constant, you will find this hard to put down.
