I'm currently reading Adam Nevill's The Ritual which just won the British Fantasy Award for Best Horror and it's kind of fucking me up.
4 dudes in their 30s who have been lifelong friends take a hike together in Sweden. The weather is awful, half of them are out of shape, so they're having a miserable time the other half are tired of putting up with the fat half and to make things worse they get lost in a fairly primeval part of the forest looking for a shortcut that doesn't exist. Then they come across the totem and shit goes downhill really fast.
I'm about 20% in but it's already gotten my attention with the characters, the situation and some fairly brilliant perspective shifts into 2nd person when BAD THINGS are happening.
it should still shit the bed, of course, but daaaaaaaaamn so far this is pretty great.
