Horror
Horror fiction is fiction in any medium intended to scare, unsettle, or horrify the audience. Historically, the cause of the "horror" experience has often been the intrusion of a supernatural element into everyday human experience. Since the 1960s, any work of fiction with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, or exceptionally suspenseful or frightening theme has come to be called "horror". Horror fiction often overlaps science fiction or fantasy, all three of which categories are sometimes placed under the umbrella classification speculative fiction.Horror fiction is fiction in any medium intended to scare, unsettle, or horrify the audience.

Release date: Apr 01, 2025
The nursery rhyme warned us about him. We should have listened.
When six-year-old Sandy Sommers vanishes during an Easter egg hunt in the small mountaiThe nursery rhyme warned us about him. We should have listened.
When six-year-old Sandy Sommers vanishes during an Easter egg hunt in the small mountain town of Berlin, New Hampshire, Mayor Otto Finch finds himself at the center of a nightmare he thought he'd left behind decades ago.
As a college freshman in 1998, Otto witnessed inexplicable horrors in the town of Robin, where Halloween night turned an entire community violent. Now, as Berlin's first Black mayor, he's built a peaceful life with his adopted daughter Lily—until Sandy's disappearance stirs memories of a past Otto has spent years trying to forget.
When two local teenagers are found in the woods covered in blood with no memory of what happened, and Lily reveals she's been talking to something calling itself her "Best Forest Friend," Otto realizes the evil he encountered in his youth has found a new home. Working with FBI Agent Clementine Miller, Otto races to find Sandy before it's too late, only to discover a horrifying the creature in the forest is the monstrous manifestation of a nursery rhyme that children have sung for generations.
To save the children of Berlin, Otto must confront the darkness of his past and face the terrifying entity known as Bunny Foo Foo—before it collects every child in town.
"Bunny Foo Black Easter" transforms an innocent children's song into pure terror. This gripping supernatural thriller will appeal to readers of Josh Malerman's "Bird Box," Paul Tremblay's "A Head Full of Ghosts," and fans of creepy folklore come to life.
First in the bone-chilling Bunny Foo Foo Series that will make you think twice about the nursery rhymes you teach your children.
Great for fans supernatural horror, LGBTQ horror, psychological thriller, missing child, small town secrets, paranormal investigation, monsters in the woods, New England horror, folklore horror, Easter horror, childhood fears, haunted forest...more
