    Hello! I just finished rereading Sharp Objects, and I'd love to read more stuff that's similar, with this sort of vibe:

    • mysteries/thrillers focused on family drama
    • creepy isolated settings
    • modern Gothic style
    • anything similar to Gillian Flynn's writing style
    • "town with a dark secret" trope
    • troubled and complex female protagonists are a plus

    I'm mostly interested in fiction, but if any memoirs/nonfiction books fit the bill, I'd love to check those out!

    I've already read:

    • Negative Space by Lilly Dancyger
    • Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
    • Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberley McCreight
    • The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz
    • Memorial Drive by Natasha Trethewey
    • The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins (liked it until the last fourth or so)
    • People Like Her by Ellery Lloyd (didn't like it)
    • My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing (didn't like it)
    • Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
    • These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever
