Horror Spotlight: One More Minute by Oscar Bunnik

You’ll Come for the Horror… But You’ll Stay for the Heartbreak

We’ve all seen our fair share of horror stories. Ghosts in the walls. Creepy dolls. Creepy kids. Creepy… everything. But every once in a while, a story sneaks in that hits a little too close. One that makes your skin crawl—not because of what’s lurking in the dark, but because it dares to ask what you’d do if your heart shattered beyond repair.

Oscar Bunnik’s One More Minute does exactly that.

On paper, it might sound like a standard horror setup: a man makes a deal with the devil to bring back the love of his life—one minute at a time, in exchange for blood. But don’t let the premise fool you. This book isn’t here to throw jump scares at you and call it a day. This is a slow-burn descent into grief, guilt, and the kind of love that doesn’t just haunt you—it consumes you.

Clayton Miller is not a slasher villain. He’s not a demon or a lunatic. He’s… a guy who lost the one person who made his life make sense. And now, he’s faced with the kind of choice that would break any of us: Would you kill to hold them again? Just for a moment?

One More Minute doesn’t give you easy answers. What it does give you are shivers, dread, and one hell of an emotional gut-punch. It’s messy. It’s tragic. And it’s full of beautifully broken characters, especially Lena, who will wreck you in the best way.

So yes, the horror is here—and it’s done really well. But the real terror? It’s in the love that turns into obsession. In the mirror that slowly stops showing you someone you recognize. In the question you’ll keep asking long after the final page:
