I’ve been looking for some great ghost books that aren’t necessarily straight up horror genre and more like literary fiction with horror elements. Like I’m looking for ghost books that are more like books that will give me feels like the films *All Of Us Strangers* or *A Ghost Story* (I know the former is based on a book but the book is very different than the recent film). Also before anyone recommends it, yes I’ve read (and really enjoyed) *The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida*, which is a bit more magical realism than what I’m looking for.
So, more like literary fiction dramas with ghost elements with themes of grief/loss/moving on/trauma/dysfunctional families etc. I don’t mind something with some spookiness, I’m actually a total scream queen and love horror films. But I am just trying to scratch a very specific literary itch and don’t want flat out horror.
I hope this makes sense! 😂🤦🏻♀️
