Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell - 306 pages

A romantic cabin getaway doesn’t go exactly as planned. High up on the windswept cliffs of Pale Peak, Faye and Felix celebrate their new engagement. But soon, a chorus of ghastly noises erupts from the nearby the screams of animals, the cries of children, and the mad babble of a hundred mournful voices. A dark figure looms near the windows in the dead of night, whispering to Faye. As the weather turns deadly, Felix discovers that his terrified fiancée isn’t just mumbling in her sleep – she’s whispering back. Originally a contest-winning story on reddit.com’s horror community NoSleep , Stolen Tongues has received widespread acclaim and is now being adapted into a feature film.


If you are a fan of horror this is a must read.  I normally don't get creepy vibes from horror books but this one did just that.  The thought of something out in the dark woods mimicking loved ones trying to lure you out gave me the willies.  When I finished this book, initially I was let down by the ending.  Thinking on it now I don't think it was terrible, it did end well, just not how I expected it to.
