Never been a reader. Want to be.

I don’t think I would like fantasy at all. I go through phases on Reddit where I’ll go through rabbit holes of unsolved mysteries or murders, so I feel I’d like mysteries or horror. However, as my gf has told me, horror can be really hit or miss, and I think I agree. I bought a short story book from Stephen King hoping it would do the trick and I thought it was awfully written. I want complicated characters, realistic dialogue, and to be invested.
