   I'm going to keep complaining about the same shit re: horror because it's like 3/4 of the stories I encounter these days
   
   NONE OF IT WAS REAL
   
   THE PROTAGONIST IS JUST CRAZY
   
   IT WAS A SHARED HALLUCATION
   
   IT'S A METAPHOR FOR CHILD ABUSE
   
   bro just fuck off and give me a real werewolf ripping spines out

     Steven King writes at a fifth grade level. H.P. Lovecraft or gtfo.

     HEY! THERE'S some horror I've read not from the 1800s!
     He was only BORN in the 1800s :jahy_smug:

     @Ash_Kvetchum @deprecated_ii It's by Stephen King but it's a short story, I thought it was very good. The movie is good too but the ending of the movie is divisive

     Do you have any horror books you'd recommend?
     
     I had a friend ask me recently, and I realized the only horror books I (for now) know I care for are from the 1800s 💀 🤣
     
     I'm not deep into the horror genre myself though.
     I did try Stephen King (his earlier stuff). Not into him.

     Elephant man, do you read horror?
     Do you have any recommendations of horror books not written in the 1800s?
     
     A friend asked me recently. He has no problems with the 1800s ones I gave; it's just that I noticed all that I gave him was that old. (I did give him Lovecraft too 👍)

     I stopped reading a long time ago. I do so much reading in my profession that I'd rather do other stuff in my spare time. I do watch horror movies every day while I eat though. I was just watching Re-Animator with my kids.

     @Humpleupagus @Ash_Kvetchum @deprecated_ii @monsterislandcolonizer Good heavens where are you finding anyone suggesting more modern literature ?? Not denying it outright but it’s straining my credulity a lil bit

     @Humpleupagus @Ash_Kvetchum @deprecated_ii @monsterislandcolonizer Fair enough, fair enough. Tbh anyone I’ve found worth reading after LotR has mostly been far-right bloggers. I guess there’s been some ok sci-fi maybe
