Comment what books have caused you to become distressed, traumatized, or unsettled in any way. Please elaborate as to why.
minus-squareWitch@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up17·2 years agoThe House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It wasn’t scary per say but I had an interesting experience where I had a manic episode reading it, barely slept, and got absolutely obsessed with the idea of it as I read it. 10/10 loved the immersion aspect.
minus-squareokiegirl22@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoThis book also didn’t scare me in a traditional way but is definitely one of the most unsettling things I’ve read.
