I've read very little horror fiction, and even less that's really spooked me. So, as part of my Booklord challenge, I'm going to ask someone here to suggest a (shortish) horror book as a wildcard for me to read before the year is out. The more obscure the better! Thank you in advance!

I read From The Wreck by Jane Rawson recently, having received it as a TBB Secret Santa present. It was really dang good, spooky and unnerving in all the best ways. A story about a shipwreck survivor being haunted by a shapeshifting sea creature, partly told from the creature's perspective. It's set in 1850s colonial Australia, and there are probably a lot of allegorical things going on with it too. Definitely recommended.
