Greg’s Favorite Horror Chases

The chase is a staple of horror. Building the drama, the reader or viewer is made to feel like they are right there with the character. It is the ultimate will they-won’t they. What would Halloween or Friday the 13th be without a great chase? There we are with the protagonist, running through the woods. Do they(we) get away? We get to tell them: No! Don’t run into the woods! Why are you running to the basement – there is no way out there! Sure, run out onto that dock, you will definitely get away there. We all know the possible results: they get away (unlikely), they run into a dead friend (probable), they get caught (definitely). Despite knowing the result, we can’t help but hope for the best and scream our instructions. Here are some of my favorite books with incredible chase scenes.

I’m Thinking of Ending Things – By Iain Reid

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires – By Grady Hendrix

The Ritual – By Adam Nevill

FantasticLand – By Mike Bockoven

Pines – By Blake Crouch

We are a couple of book reviewers

The couples who read together, stay together. That may not be scientifically proven, but it’s worked for us. We have been blogging for over twelve years. While we do enjoy reading together, we rarely read the same novels (although, it does happen occasionally). Sometimes a good book is just too good not to recommend to your spouse/blogging partner. If you’re looking for a book recommendation, you’ve come to the right place. Between the two of us, we cover a wide selection of genres. If you have a recommendation for us, we’d love to hear it! As always, happy reading!
