Security by Gina WohlsdorfRead about another entry on the list.
Since reading Security four years ago, I have made it my mission to spread the word far and wide about its greatness. The setting is the brand spanking new Manderley Resort in Santa Barbara. The landscaper describes the modern monolith as “a tooth somebody yanked out and stuck on the beach.” The novel’s brilliance lies in its first-person-slash-omniscient point of view—thanks to security cameras placed all over the property—not to mention the humor, plot turns, and unholy terror. Seriously, I had to stop reading the book at night because it was giving me nightmares.
Security is among Molly Odintz's eighteen best new and recent horror novels, Christopher Swann's six great novels with mysterious protagonists, and James S. Murray's five books that are pulpy in all the right ways.
