Books

If there is one modern author of ghost stories I would never hesitate to recommend, it is Darcy Coates. Over the past few years, I have read many of her books and have yet to be disappointed even once — and Gallows Hill is no exception.

It’s that time of the year again when I take a look back at what I’ve read throughout the past year and highlight some of my favorite books. I read more than usual in 2025 which made picking favorites tough!

A Haunting on the Hill by Elizabeth Hand is an interesting modern dive into the world originally created by Shirley Jackson in The Haunting of Hill House.

With the new year ushered in over a month ago, it’s time to recap my favorite books I read in 2024.

Stirrings in The Black House is another very interesting take on the traditional ghost and haunted house trope. It is definitely worth a read.

Ghost Eaters is a novel I finished at the beginning of 2024 and I thought it was worth writing about because it was a unique take on the ghost story genre with a great twist at the end.

Last year, I compiled a list of my favorite books from 2022. Since I enjoyed it so much, I decided to put together a list of my favorite books from 2023 too.

As an avid reader, I am always eager to share a good book once I’m finished with it. In 2022, I enjoyed several good ones, but these are the books that stood out from the pack.

I’m happy to announce that my brother, Kyle Seifert, has published his first novel called Numb, a sinister crime novel about a serial killer.
