Horror novels that err on the side of disturbing, psychological and contain minimal-to-zero spiritual/supernatural aspects?

*Mods, please remove this if this is not the place for a thread like this.

Hello! Recently, I've gotten back into reading and, since I am a big consumer of the horror genre in every other media aspect, I would love recommendations from some more knowledgeable sources.

Currently, I am reading We Used To Live Here by Marcus Kliewer and am loving it, though (without spoiling too much) I am beginning to believe it's leaning too heavily into supernatural aspects for my liking. I started this book after seeing many people online suggest it due to it being "terrifying" and "so upsetting they had to put the book down" but I'm really not feeling that way with it. Either way, I will be finishing it, lol.

That being said, does anyone have recommendations for any horror novels that also lean into the psychological subgenre, or others that are just overall disturbing, shocking, and meant to make the reader extremely uncomfortable? This is the type of horror I tend to appreciate more. Supernatural and spiritual stuff just never really hold my grasp. I like stuff that feels a little bit more real.

Genuinely, if you think it is too disturbing, I will probably beg to differ. And if I read it and DO get genuinely upset or disturbed by it, I consider that a five-star read. Thanks again so much I hope to see what everyone recommends!!

Tried the stairmaster for the first time ):

I couldn't even make it to five minutes. Going slower felt harder than going faster. I keep trying to tell myself it's because I am carrying more weight on my legs than others but damn, shit hurts my feelings.

Is it normal to start off so low if you're plus size (around 225) and what are tips to slowly build up time on it?

EDIT: Thank you to those who commented. It genuinely did help me be more realistic with my goal on the machine and you guys gave me good information too! I appreciate you all so much!

What are some of your favorite FREE apps to help with your goals, self care, and journaling?

And when I say free I basically just means something functional without having to succumb to a subscription plan as well as an app that doesn't FORCE FEED their subscription plan down your throat.

I just want something a little fun, helpful, and motivating.

Electric car with the best lifespan.

Hello, my boyfriend and I are looking into an electric car seeing as he gets free charging at his job site. The problem is we are unsure of what type of car to get as it seems to be very hit or miss in the electric car scene.

We'd prefer on the lower end of the price spectrum & recommending used versions of vehicles is also completely fine and even preferred. Our only hard no's are Tesla and Kia. Willing to take suggestions for any others, but big bonus if it is a slightly larger vehicle. Our other car is a large sedan and that just doesn't seem like enough space for a future family.

Best moisturizer to put under Ilia skin tint??

Photos to show products in use!

I love my Ilia skin tint (aside from the putrid smell) but have come to realize it does not mix well with my moisturizer. I currently use the Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream as its one off the few moisturizers that doesn't irritate my skin or break me out. The problem is that when I use it in tandem with my skin tint, it makes it look flaky and separated.

I'm just wondering if anyone has recommendations on moisturizers to use with this skin tint that won't cause a cake-y/flaking/pilling effect?

Fitness19 in Newark thoughts?

Looking for a new gym to go to. I like larger ones because I prefer the variety of equipment and the open space doesn't feel so uncomfortable. I am just curious what everyone thinks of the crowd and quality of the club?

Hygiene of restrooms isn't my biggest concern because back when I was with 24hr Fitness I never really used them anyway. Same with the machines. I bring my own wipes and sanitizer.

I'm more worried about the quality of machines and the look of the crowd between 8AM-12:30PM or 10PM-Close.

Thanks for any input!!

LConnect not allowing me to change pump screen after update?

Recently was having issues with LConnect letting me update a key part of the software. After doing it manually, it seems to have fucked everything up. My color settings stayed the same but I can no longer change my pump screen and it displays this message on LConnect even though I have, what I assume is the correct setting, toggled off.

Any ideas? Should I just cave and do a full reinstall? Obviously I can't leave it as is since I have my pump set to a custom orientation.
