The Day of the Jackal
by Frederick Forsyth
Why this book?

The Day of the Jackal shares Final Girls' fascination with the psychology of obsession and danger, unfolding across a similarly immersive 12+ hour listening experience that rewards close attention.

Misery

None of This is True
by Lisa Jewell
Why this book?
