Hello, I am looking for some horror novella recommendations. Life has been so busy this year that I can't focus on long novels, but short stories feel too quick. I love supernatural and gothic horror, eerie atmospheres, ghost stories, demons, entities etc but I'm not a big fan of heavy gore. Please help a girl out! Thanks in advance!

I just finished A Short Stay in Hell and I genuinely think this is the most unsettling book I have ever read.

The book kept forcing me into these thought spirals I couldn't escape from. My mind genuinely cannot comprehend ninety-five raised to the one million three hundred twelve thousandth power. And what does it even *mean* to be eternally happy or eternally sad? If happiness exists forever without sadness, would it even hold meaning anymore?

Another scary bit was how casual and calm everything felt. No dramatic torture scenes, no screaming demons just the horrifying time scale. The idea that time can stretch so far that human concepts like hope, identity, love, memory, and even patience stop functioning.

Death itself didn’t bother me that much. But this book unlocked an entirely new fear because of all the “what ifs.” if this life is just a tiny trailer for something infinitely worse !

If anyone has more recommendations from this author let me know please!

I can’t with this guy. I’m currently reading Last Days, and while there are genuinely terrifying moments in the book, the endless waffling is completely putting me off. Readers don’t need detailed explanations about the cameras and sound equipment a director uses to make films. If this were a book about independent filmmaking, fine, I’d read that. But people are here for horror fgs!!

I already thought No One Gets Out Alive had an unnecessarily long second half, but this somehow tops it with even more pointless detail. Someone seriously needs to get that man an editor. He ruins a really good story and writing by adding pointless jargon.

Hello. Could anyone studying or working in central park medical college/hospital let me know if they provide any sort of transport service for the medical staff working there? It's like an hour drive from my home and with the fuel costs it would be real hard for me to manage the commute on my car. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, so I just binged that Korean horror show If Wishes Could Kill on Netflix and I really liked the concept. If you haven't seen it, it's about these high school kids who find an app that actually grants wishes, but there’s a massive catch as soon as your wish comes true, a 24-hour timer starts counting down. Once it hits zero, this terrifying entity shows up to kill whoever made the wish. It’s basically a high-stakes "monkey’s paw" scenario but with a dark, supernatural twist. It leans heavily into shamanism, cursed objects, and creepy folk horror traditions.

I’m looking for any book recommendations that capture that same energy. I’d love something with dabbling with cursed objects vibe where the consequences are brutal and immediate. It doesn't have to be about an app specifically, but I'm definitely craving that mix of modern life meeting old-school curses or folklore. Thanks in advance
