#EndlessNight (2022, Belgium, on Netflix) also reminds me in a way of #Flatliners: a group of friends break a medical taboo of "forbidden knowledge" and chaos ensues. Is this a horror subgenre and does it have a name? Or is it all just a variation on the Prometheus & Genesis stories?

I admit when it comes to knowledge of Peter Straub's work, I am lacking. I know of him thanks to his collaborations with Stephen King (The Talisman, Black House). When Straub passed away last Sept, I felt I had missed something by not enjoying his writing while he was still on this earth.
Many said at the time that Shadowland is his best work. I'm reading it now. Slow going, but good so far.
📚 Just finished reading Ghost Tamer by Meredith R. Lyons.
Picked this up for cheap scares on Halloween and it delivered so, so much more.
Paranormal threats, friendly ghosts, deep character relationships, emotional moments, and some cute feel-good parts in between. Not what I expected from a "horror", but in the best way possible.
