I just finished Sarah Langan's Good Neighbors, excellently narrated by Nicole Lewis. Wow.

I've read a couple of Langan's previous horror novels; Good Neighbors is horror of a subtler sort, with a Shirley Jackson vibe. Here, the monsters are the human inhabitants of suburban Maple Street (yes, there's an echo of the notable Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street"), whose new neighbors don't fit in.

Best novel of the 2021 so far, supplanting Sarah Pearse's Sanatorium.
