I'm actually re-reading a non-horror novel called Evidence of Things Unseen by Marianne Wiggins. Astounding book.
The back flap description:
"Evidence of Things Unseen is a poetic novel that describes America at the brink of the Atomic Age. In the years between the two world wars, the future held more promise than peril, but there was evidence of things unseen that would transfigure our unquestioned trust in a safe future."
Kickass writing.
