Through the Midnight Door
Through the Midnight Door by Katrina Monroe was a highly anticipated book of year. I was thrilled it was included in my September Nightworms box. Katrina weaves the psychological realities of grief and family trauma with the entertaining aspects of supernatural horror exquisitely. While it is reminiscent of Mike Flanagan's Haunting of Hill House at times, Monroe has her own unique characters. Her exploration of relationships between sisters is very realistic with the combination of a strained history and a fierce love and loyalty. I'd recommend reading this book slowly because while it is quite scary, it is the psychological exploration that causes chills to creep down the spine. Read with care as a suicide and the death of an infant are depicted. This is definitely one of my favorite books of 2024!
