Ari Aster’s Midsommar is a dark horror film that takes place in bright daylight and all dressed in white, hiding nothing behind shadows but rather behind smiles. It examines the intersection of trauma and acceptance, of grief and connection, in ways that have shocked audiences. This kind of horror is rare, and it can leave you looking for more. Well, strap in, because whatever weird, twisted, and/or disorienting aspect you liked from this summer’s horror blockbuster, there’s a book for that!
