Why read it?
1 author picked The Suffering as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am such a lover of ghost stories, hauntings, and anything paranormal. After a while, haunting/supernatural books can all feel very similar. However, this book is a complete wild card. I love the unique take on multiple ghosts.

From Sarah's list on supernatural horror written by indie authors.
