I’m house and dog sitting for my friend and looking for a creepy-vibes book that fits with the ambiance here. It’s beautiful, sunny California during the day. We’re near hills and hiking so there are trees and birds and sun and happiness. But. There are no sidewalks. The houses are huge (in my opinion), there aren’t many street lamps. And, because this is a suburb with no sidewalks, there’s no one out at night. I’m from a city, I’ve never liked being alone in silence at night. Empty, quiet streets. Even heard a bat and what I can only assume was a screech owl last night. And it gets foggy. So thick the dew drops from trees and sounds like rain when I’m walking the dog.
Any suggestions for this type of ambiance? Rich, happy-seeming people, during the day. But once the sun sets, the streets are empty, and the veil of darkness and fog sets-in creepy things start to happen. Murderous things. Missing people things.
Why do I want to read a scary book when I’m already creeped out in this house? Don’t ask me something I can’t answer.
