Hi there, I currently struggle with audhd and used to read a lot as a child. I actually read at a high school level from a very young age.
I don’t know if it was the struggles I had with formal learning after high school to become a preschool teacher like I currently am or what – but I stopped reading in my early 20s.
I want to rekindle it, but I am having a really hard time finding genres I am interested in.
I want to find really creepy supernatural books about hauntings, demonic entities, or the paranormal in general – without romance in them. The creepier the better.

Shirley Jackson’s *The Haunting of Hill House* is unparalleled.
I really enjoyed a horror take on mermaids, check out into the drowning deep by Mira Grant
If you enjoy stories with strong female leads, ‘Sabriel’ by Garth Nix is a book I often suggest. It’s a dark and captivating tale of a young necromancer’s quest to find her father and stop the Dead from overrunning her world, all while learning about her own powers.
I was skeptical going in but I ended up really enjoying From Below by Darcy Coates. The creepiness was a lot more effective than I thought it would be and was just overall really engaging. Haunted underwater shipwreck.
