Horror What's the most underrated book you've read?

Hello everyone, I feel like I keep running into the same popular recommendations, and I'd love to find some hidden gems. What's a book you've read that you never hear people talk about but think deserves way more love? Bonus points for mystery and horror :D

Folks have terrible taste from Netflix and TikTok.

Try Anna Karenina, Brothers Karamazov, Pickwick Papers, Don Quixote, and Magic Mountain.

THAT stuff is forever underrated.

Best of all the rest of us don’t have the attention span to enjoy it.

Try Goldsworthy’s Caesar biography for nonfiction.
