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.
It is creative, funny, and has some really creepy scenes too. It’s perfect for somebody wanting to explore more horror because it’s not super dark but will still give you a good scare.
From Sarah's list on supernatural horror written by indie authors.
