“Grieving fishermen's tale plunges into supernatural darkness.”
BookTuber Opinions
The Fisherman is the darkest book I've ever read, and I had to include it on my list because it's unlike anything else out there. It's about two grieving men who bond over fishing and chase a legendary pond, but it takes a dark turn into the past with horror elements that blew my mind. The writing is brilliant, though so intense that you'll need to pause and catch your breath sometimes. If you're into dark, scary horror books, definitely check this one out—it will leave you reeling.
