The October reads are in full swing! My first choice, Josh Malerman's Bird Box, is a tense horror story with great thrills and scares. 4.5 stars. 
 Honestly, this premise really gets to me! The thought of surviving in a post-apocalyptic setting is harrowing enough, but add in violent, unknown dangers and then put your characters in blindfolds? I love it. I love that Malerman uses this to leave key aspects up to your imagination. Psychological suspense can really make things so much more frightening for each reader in their own way. I think it's a great choice. 
 There's also nothing here for me really to call out as unsuccessful or corny. Which I think is unusual for horror novels! Everything worked for me here, and I totally recommend it.
