  • I loved Knock Knock, Open Wide, one of my favorite books of that year.
  • I honestly don't know if its northern irish or what, but "Knock Knock, Open Wide" is a pretty great Irish horror novel
  • These books both take place in fictional Irish villages, but they are SO GOOD and I really recommend this author for Irish horror! (He's pretty new, so it's just these two right now) They are horror based on Irish mythology. "The Burial...

Just finished KKOW myself, the impression I got was that it was maybe leaning a little bit on the audience recognizing aspects of myth, because I too struggled to understand the underlying logic of the various creepinesses until it was explicitly laid out at the end.

Gonna give KKOW another chance. At first read, I enjoyed but felt confused. I don’t know if I missed something during a lapse of attention (totally possible) or if it legitimately confused me.

These books both take place in fictional Irish villages, but they are SO GOOD and I really recommend this author for Irish horror! (He's pretty new, so it's just these two right now) They are horror based on Irish mythology. "The Burial Tide" & "Knock Knock, Open Wide" by Neil Sharpson.
