The Taker was named a Top Ten Debut Novel of 2011 by Booklist, was nominated for a Goodreads Readers Choice award, and has been published in over 10 languages. It is the first in an award-winning trilogy that includes The Reckoning and The Descent.
Katsu's new novel is The Deep.
At SYFY Fangirls she tagged five "female-authored horror and horror-adjacent novels she's loved," including:
A Witch in Time by Constance SayersRead about another entry on the list.
"If it has 'witch' in the title, does that qualify as horror? Another case of horror adjacent, this novel is for fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, Deborah Harkness' A Discovery of Witches, or (dare I say?) my own debut The Taker. A witch and a demon are star-crossed lovers who meet and are torn apart time and again, until one of them figures out a way to break the curse. Elements of romance, fantasy, history and time travel make for a dazzling debut."
