The Ritual, by Adam Nevill.

Read it. No, I mean it. Go read it right now!

Give yourself a break and go read a book for 30 minutes. I promise: the horrors of the world will be waiting for you on your phone when you get back.

Currently reading The Scions of Shannara by the lord of Shannara @terrybrooks.bsky.social

I've read so many of his books that I actually can't remember if I've read this one before. Either way: what bliss!
