I love Stephan king's books (especially Revival) as well as the siries from Thomas Harris with Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs is clearly my favorite but then you gotta like gore writtings and creepy things)

If you're okay with YA, Six of Crows (and sequel Crooked Kingdom) by Leigh Bardugo, and the Legend series by Marie Lu (though to be fair, I only read the first two books).
If you're okay with more kid-aged stuff, Space Case (and sequels) by Stuart Gibbs, and The Bartimaeus Sequence series by Jonathan Stroud (which is YA according to wiki, but in the kids section of my library?).

The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir - gothic science-fantasy with good humor and super unique magic
The Trickster series by Eden Robinson - gritty modern take on First Nations folklore, really great read, but I may be biased as my home town features in it a fair bit.
I also reread Watership Down by Richard Adams recently and its still sooo good.

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. I don't read much because frankly all the miserable stuff I was forced to read in school put me off, but this one was a real treat. As the author says, it's "Pacific Rim meets Hand Maid's Tale meets Chinese mythology". I highly recommend.

As an enjoyer of all things horror, Stephen King is of course one of my favourite authors, but I also love James Herbert. His book, 'The Rats' is just so gruesome and unsettling, it's the perfect read for a stormy night :)
I also love all of the horror classics; Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, and the short stories by H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. The original Sherlock books are also hard for me to put down, mystery being another fave genre of mine.
Honestly, the majority of my book collection is a bit out of date xD

Raptor Red, by Rober T. Bakker. It's about a year in the life of a Utahraptor. Great book to really get into the mindset of a non-sapient (but stilll very intelligent) animal. Best example of animal xenofiction I've seen for sure.
It was published '97, so a lot of the science is outdated, but amazing for its time. Sure, Raptor Red and her family don't have feathers, but interestingly that is the only birdlike trait they lack.
