Family tension, dark secrets, & mourning
One of my favorite albums is Watershed by Opeth and I have always wanted to find a novel that explores similar themes. The tone would be dark, gloomy, gothic, and tense. The family members lives would be interrupted and they would feel compelled to spend time with people they have their own deep reasons for avoiding outside events that affect the whole family. Time period doesn’t really matter. Setting only matters to an extent, but a sense of isolation from normal life and those outside the family would be appreciated. I would like to find recommendations in which the family home and the tension feel like legitimate characters within the narrative.
