| One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning by David MoodyWhat it's about: Fifteen people are trapped on the island of Skek (somewhere between the UK and Denmark) for a corporate team-building adventure -- and then an epidemic of mindless violence breaks out.
Is it for you? If you like grim survivalist stories filled with gore, One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning is definitely your bleak and bloody bag.
Series alert: The 4th in the Haters series, the action takes place mostly concurrently with the 1st in the series (Haters). |

| The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade ThompsonWhat it's about: From birth, Molly Southborne has known she’s different -- for each time she bleeds, an identical “molly” is born to hunt her down and kill her. Though protected by her parent's rules, Molly spends her entire life fearing her blood -- and fighting for her life.
Want a taste? "The rules are simple. If you see a girl who looks like you, run and fight. Don't bleed. If you bleed, blot, burn, and bleach."
Reviewers say: this chilling novella is “sordid, dark, and coldly logical” (Library Journal). |

Why you might like it: Gritty, disturbing, and darkly humorous, The Lesser Dead provides chills through slow-building suspense and engaging first-person narration.
