About Britt

Hi, I’m Britt from britt.sbooknook and I enjoy filling my house up with plants, books, and all my needlepoint projects! While I originally thought I was a strictly fantasy kind of girly, I’ve been delving into more thrillers and horrors this past year and have found I absolutely love them- extra points for gothic horror!

"This is the novel that has kickstarted my hyper-fixation on finding more novels with bogs… and bog bodies. Oh, and gothic horror in general! This book is dark, disturbing, and at times disgusting- in the most fun way! Probably my favorite read of 2025!" - Britt

"The botanical horror of my dreams with a mansion in disrepair, an ever encroaching garden full of deadly plants and secrets, and a boy with a murky past confined to his room. This atmospheric and haunting story with a gorgeous romantic subplot is a must read!" - Brittany

"This is so much more than just a spooky haunted house story- it is also a raw and poignant portrayal of family dysfunction, confronting your trauma, and facing your inner demons. I loved the depth but also the way Rachel always manages to make me laugh out loud with her FMCs who are to some unlikable, but to me unapologetically themselves!" - Britt

"This story is almost like a mashup of every horror movie I ever watched as a teen at a sleepover that stole sleep from me for months after watching it. If you love a good house of horrors and reality bending thriller that is not only unique but will leave your jaw on the floor… this is your book!" - Britt
