Here's one to add to your list for this year if you like horror: Brian Evenson's The Open Curtain. The author began writing this novel on Mormon blood sacrifices and the Hooper Young murder while he was on staff at BYU, and I believe he finished writing it after he got fired due to some upset students who found some of his writings.
It's a quick read and it's interesting because you can tell that Evenson - despite being a non-believer, if not necessarily when he started this book then clearly by the time he finished it - has had a tiny Mormon living in his head since childhood. There is something about reading religion-focused horror from a former true believer that makes it that much scarier.
His short stories are worth a read, too. Born Stillborn is one of my favorites. Supposedly his work is heavily influenced by Deleuze and Guattari's Capitalism and Schizophrenia, although I haven't read that yet.
Thanks for the rec, I'll throw it on the list for this year! I do like horror but I'm not super well read in a lot of it, and never been too drawn to the super mainstream stuff (Stephen King or whatever).
Capitalism and Schizophrenia I've heard of, and sounds really interesting, but it's one of those where I feel like I need a few more of the philosophical prerequisites before tackling it.
