I read Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly pleasant… and the source of horror was quite different from what I had expected from the blurb and description. Nonetheless, Palahniuk is a writer of note, and Lullaby is counted among one of his finer works, and I am glad that I read it.
I read “The Ghosts on South Battery” by Karen White, which was a ghost story with a haunted house & murder mystery. So really on target. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3583206455
