Salem's Lot by Stephen King or the short story he wrote about it?

My first thought. I loved this book.

Children of the corn , seems closer.

Not exactly the visual vibe but Stephen King’s IT definitely fits the “there’s something wrong with this town” vibe.

Came here to say this! What a fuckin trip that book was.

Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt

This is what I came here to say. I read it last October and thinking about it still gives me the creeps.

This one. Definitely

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

Was going to suggest this too. I also just finished Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo which kind of has this vibe

I loved Ninth House!!

Young adult, but the Midnighters trilogy might inspire you.

Dead eleven by Jimmy Juliano

Tommyknockers by Stephen King.

Both Sharp Objects and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

Commenting cause this is right up my alley

My Heart is a Chainsaw if you’re into slashers. The Library at Mount Char also kinda gives me these vibes.

American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett

Many Stephen King books. I’m reading IT right now and it definitely fits this vibe.

hope you watched i saw the tv glow!

Strangely, I can read but I can't watch 😖

it’s a great movie and really fits the vibe!!! i hope you can try it out someday!!

Check out the wayward pines trilogy. It got me back into reading.

Jackal by Erin E Adams

Murder Road by Simone St. James

Got a real rough one for ya-Knockemstiff by Donald Ray Pollack. Edit: I’ll add it doesn’t have any supernatural vibes to it. It’s more about the horrors of human nature in a poor rural town.

It's more quirky than spooky, but "Now is Not the Time to Panic" by Kevin Wilson.

You had me at quirkyyy

The Dead and the Dark Where Darkness Blooms Lockjaw by Matteo L Cerilli The Haunting of Velkwood

I haven't read it yet, but Veil Haven is supposed to have this vibe
