Just wow!! It’s been way too long since a horror book completely pulled me in like this—and now A Place for Vanishing is officially one of my 2025 favorites. I’ve always enjoyed horror stories set in homes. They just hit different—probably because we all live in one, so the fear feels extra close to home (pun intended).
This book is a perfect mix of beautiful and bone-chilling. The atmosphere is creepy and unsettling, and the author juggles so many emotions—fear, grief, love, and more—without ever dropping the ball. It’s haunting in the best way.
The family dynamic between the mother and her daughters is so raw and real. It doesn’t shy away from showing how trauma weaves itself into relationships, and that made this story and everything that happens that much better. It’s like watching a nightmare slowly leak into reality.
I want to say more but don't want to spoil anyhing—you need to read this for yourself. It’s perfect for Spooktober, or honestly, any crisp Fall evening when goosebumps are on the menu. Huge thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy!
