I am stuck at home recovering from eye surgery and really need something to read. The bright lights in the kitchen hurt too much so I stay in the dark. Reading about animal abuse or excessive gore makes me feel physically sick right now. It is hard to pass the time without getting bored or anxious.

I am looking at old classics like The Exorcist but worry they might be too intense. Newer indie titles seem promising for psychological dread but I do not know which ones are safe. Has anyone read something recently that relies on atmosphere instead of shock value? I want to be scared without feeling gross afterwards.
