Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson

I got KNOCK KNOCK, OPEN WIDE off of the suggested reading list on Amazon for a sapphic horror novel I had really enjoyed. And I really enjoyed this one, too. I should have reviewed it when I finished it two days ago, but to be honest, I kind of wanted to dwell on it for a while because the vibes were so immaculate. This blends together Satanic horror, Irish folklore, and the creepiness of children's television shows perfectly, and it's set primarily in the 90s and 2000s, and honestly feels like it could have been written then, too. There's a major Clive Barker/Kathe Koja feel to this book that I loved.

I honestly don't want to say too much more because I don't want to spoil the book, but if you like difficult heroines, sapphic horror, creepy Celtic folklore, and dual timeline thrillers, you'll probably enjoy KNOCK KNOCK, OPEN WIDE. It was brilliantly done and I was never fully sure where it was going to go or how all of the pieces were going to connect. I was not disappointed in the slightest by the answer.

4.5 out of 5 stars
