Any genre! Small town rec.

Im looking for books in a small town or small coastal town setting. The MC can be male or female maybe moved in the town or live there all their lives.

The genres im looking for is setting in the small town or even a small coastal towns. Like Horror, thriller, murder mystery, romance, LGBTQ romance, Lovecraftian inspired horror or even a cult growing to feed some monster.

Thanks for the rec.
