Stolen Tongues
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 woods: 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.

Interesting but I kept waiting for IT to happen. Had some things to make better but it wasn't followed up on. Just eh.
four stars for how often this book made me tense and uncomfortable. but four stars also for how lackluster the ending was.
Absolutely fantastic! I rarely give five to ten star reviews on books, even ones I really loved, but this one really knocked my expectations outta the park
A really fun read with some legitimate horrifying moments. You do root for the characters in the book, but the characters make some super dumb and oftentimes irrational decisions that really pulls you out of the narrative. If you listen to the audiobook, be prepared to be annoyed by anything Felix's fiancé says...it's brutal.
Overall, a quick read and one I'm glad I spent the time on.

Seems ironic to talk at length about the harm of exploitation of indigenous peoples in media, and then proceed to exploit the ideas of indigenous people in your own book. This could have been a great way to collaborate with an indigenous voice and create something together, including facts, figures, and legends. It all just rubbed me the wrong way.
