Typical Books of Terror | The Only One Left • My first Riley Sager horror book review @typicalbooks | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
If this isn't a nouveau gothic, I don't want to know what is. Truly. I had a lot of fun with this and if you are not having fun with fiction then... Pick up a copy here: amzn.to/48OdWoa - I may stick to pronouncing it Say-Guhr! I've heard a few interviews since and this is how it is said almost always when people speak with him.
The title of this book and the cover combined caught my eye. I'm not a huge fan of this orangish red and blue color combination but I do like a book with a house on the cover. The Only One Left as a title evokes a sort of gothic feel, some sort of familicide perhaps had gone on and that turned out to be true. The front cover with its colors evoked the title of a short story from ages ago ‘Orange is for Anguish Blue for Insanity’ and I figured this would have to do with some sort of perhaps unreliable narrator which wasn't exactly the case. But be that as it may, the cover and the title of this book along with some of the pedigree of the author did its work to entice me to read it. I'd never read any Riley Sager and I figured this would be a good spot to start. Will I read more Riley Sager? Maybe. I have already been tempted!

I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
