Story
Julie is missing, and no one believes she will ever return - except Elise. Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and feels it in her bones that her best friend is out there and that one day Julie will come back. She’s right. Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no memory of where she’s been or what happened to her. Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, the women decide to reunite at a remote inn. But the second Elise sees Julie, she knows something is wrong - she’s emaciated, with sallow skin and odd appetites.

Story
Twenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. Three weeks later they fled in the dead of night, an ordeal Ewan later recounted in a nonfiction book called House of Horrors. His horror memoir of ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity — and skepticism.

There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, his and hers. Which means someone is always lying. When a woman is murdered in Blackdown, a quintessentially British village, newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect in his own murder investigation. Someone isn’t telling the truth, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.

Story
In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down, and the government's emergency protocols are faltering.

At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now.

In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find - her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region.

But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid.

The Bram Stoker award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense that recalls Stephen King’s Misery, Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood, and Jack Ketchum’s cult hit The Girl Next Door. Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.

Publisher's Summary
Shirley Jackson meets The Shining in this richly atmospheric and thrillingly tense new novel from the acclaimed author of the "deliciously creepy" debut Baby Teeth (New York Post).
One mother's love may be all that stands between her family, an enigmatic presence - and madness.
After years of city life, Orla and Shaw Bennett are ready for the quiet of New York's Adirondack mountains - or at least, they think they are. Settling into the perfect farmhouse with their two children, they are both charmed and unsettled by the expanse of their land, the privacy of their individual bedrooms, and the isolation of life a mile from any neighbor.
But none of the Bennetts could expect what lies waiting in the woods, where secrets run dark and deep. When something begins to call to the family - from under the earth, beneath the trees, and within their minds - Orla realizes she might be the only one who can save them...if she can find out what this force wants before it's too late.
With an ending inescapable and deeply satisfying, Wonderland brilliantly blends horror and suspense to probe the boundaries of family, loyalty, love, and the natural world.
What the critics say
"Zoje Stage's Wonderland is a mesmerizing journey into the darkest realms of the supernatural; a family, escaping the perils of city life, discovers that the splendors of nature can mask a hidden face of savage, unnameable terror." (Kathleen Kent, author of The Burn)
"Memorable imagery.... Stage's darkly lyrical writing style shines." (Publishers Weekly)
"Oh, fright fans rejoice. That sure hand you're looking for? That relentless climb, that crescendo of cold sweat? It's all here. Deep in the woods, under a lot of snow, steeped in mad, unfamiliar nature. Zoje Stage is in total control of your nightmare. For those who live to be scared, Wonderland is the book you'll be glad you cracked open at home, alone, at night." (Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box and Malorie)

It had such potential...
I loved the premise of this book, especially being a gal who lives in the remote north woods. It started off brilliantly, with fantastic writing and incredible descriptions that conveyed the creepiness of the story, the unsettled feelings that Orla had. I rubbed my hands together in glee at the eerie story that lie ahead.
But, all that anticipation and appreciation went down the drain as each hour of the book passed. As a plus, I suppose, I kept listening to the end, hoping the book would redeem itself. Usually I toss audiobooks aside when they start getting boring or silly, so for the fact that I listened until the last word, I'll give the story two stars. But the whole thing just got weird. Really weird, like "you probably won't get into the storyline unless you're on some serious hallucinogens" kind of weird. Magic, pentagrams, Wicca, fantastical apparitions and spirit possessions and the unrealistic story of a family trapped in their woodland home by an ancient tree spirit. It was all too much. Combine that with not-so-subtle Jesus-bashing and the underlying theme of feminism and the whole thing just made me roll my eyes. It was disappointing, because it had so much potential. At least Xe Sands did a terrific job, as usual. By the time the totally implausible ending came about (i.e. they all lived happily ever after), I was over it. Enter this "Wonderland" at your own risk. Make sure you realize it's more black magic fantasy than psychological or outdoor survival thriller.

insufferable whimps
literally every character in this story is an insufferable whimp. The parents. The children. Characters show no spine whatsoever. The way the narrator reads the children is just so frustrating and annoying. The precocious daughter is read with such a terrible nasal whine. The innocent toddler son is much worse. The premise of the story becomes so silly. I hear that this author's first book was a masterpiece. This one was on many's best of 2020. This is only a good book if you've lived in New York City for so long that you have no idea what it means to be a real person.

Not exactly what I was expecting
The story was great and I loved the narrator so lets get that put of the way first. The description was The Shining meets House on Haunted Hill and thats pretty close. It just didn’t really grab me as a story about a Haunted House. Was it creepy? Yes. Would I buy it again? Yes. Just temper your expectations a little. Im curious to know if the author is a peagan or was just telling a story because it seemed like they were trying to make a statement without cramming it down your throat.

Only made it halfway through the book to give it a fair chance. No horror has happened, only the story of a woman going on to the next phase in her life and her thoughts on every bit of it....tedious, slow and monotonous.

Disappointing story and terrible narrator
Xe Sands is the most annoying narrator I have heard - she reads like she is acting and distracts the listener with her odd pronunciation and quivering voice.
The story itself could have been interesting but there was too much focus on mundane details of daily life.
I enjoyed Baby Teeth for the most part but after reading a second novel by this author I'm now fairly certain that she has never spoken to an actual child in her life and has no idea how to portray them (also the narrator did terrible 'baby talk' voices when she spoke for these characters)
Bleh.
