You Should Have Left by Daniel Kehlmann
This slim German novel tells the story of a writer who takes his family to a remote Airbnb in the mountains of Germany with hopes of finding time to work on a screenplay. Tensions arise between the couple about how the family should be spending their time on vacation.
The spooky tale is told through journal entries that shift between notes on the fictional troubled relationship in the screenplay and the writer's own marriage in real life. Cryptic comments from local residents set the stage for strange happenings to come and before you know it, things take an exponentially creepy turn. You may opt to read this one in broad daylight rather than after dark.
