Books I read in 2026: A THREAD

The Ghost that Ate Us: The Tragic True Story of the Burger City Poltergeist by Daniel Kraus

Reads like an authentic, well researched/paced true crime novel about the haunting of a fast food restaurant. If you like the film Hell House LLC you'll LOVE this book. 10/10

I've never, ever read a @danielkraus.com book that I did not love, but I have been intimidated as hell to go into ANGEL DOWN because of the format and it being a brutal book about war.

Y'all, go read the sentence he wrote. The structure *makes* the story. It's the definition of a war horror.

Angel Down. Against the thundering, bloody backdrop of WW1, five lost and traumatised men are sent careening through the trenches on a desperate mission to save a downed angel in hopes she can end the war. Beautifully written in one long, breathless sentence like a never-ending scream πŸ©ΈπŸ“šπŸ’™
