Most Disturbing Psychological Horror Books 소설 & 이야기

, someone announced on the stage which made me concentrate back to stage to see that my friend was about to start her performance and as soon as she hit the first cord of her vocals, all sort of negative energy just vanished atleast that is what I felt and also by this time the entire book store was mesmerized by her soulful voice and the light music was complementing it the best way possible but now all I could think about was all the possible assumptions which could give me any logical reason for the extremely weird energy of that place. At the end of the performance I moved towards my right to nearest book shelf which was of fiction category and it has always been my favourite genre as i

There, sitting upon it, was a black leather-bound book. The whisking sound out in the hall . . . the hem of a robe dragging across the floor . . . drew closer. Ignoring the sound, John approached he black book sitting on the writing desk he never used. He finally admitted to himself—though it made about as much sense as the toy spider being misplaced or Beth staring through him and turning the lights off—he’d seen the book all over his office. Jammed in with the horror anthologies, with the Star Wars novels, the Ramsey Campbell novels, and on the Stephen King shelf. Somehow, John knew if he turned away, he’d find it elsewhere.

Her breathing grew uneven, her frustration turning into something darker. Her breath hitched, and I could see the anger flicker in her eyes. Her hands trembled at her sides, and for a brief moment, I thought she was about to scream. But instead, the air around us seemed to shift. With a sudden, sharp crack, the bookshelves rattled. Then, as if an invisible force had been unleashed, books flew from the shelves, pages fluttering wildly as they crashed to the floor. She gasped, stepping back in horror. "What…?!" Her voice was barely a whisper.

Hunger felt trivial compared to what I needed to learn. The library greeted me with that same sacred stillness, tall shelves, dim morning light, the smell of age and ink. I made my way to the far aisles, where the older tomes were kept. My fingers moved with purpose now, tracing spines like they were veins leading to a heart I needed to find. I wanted books that went beyond psychology and mysticism, ones that whispered about power, not philosophy. And I found them. Tattered books bound in scales instead of leather. Pages that looked like they had once been soaked in blood. Symbols I couldn’t read but instinctively feared.

I whispered. A fresh wave of nausea hit, memories pushing like claws against the walls of my mind, shadows of a past life I had spent years trying to understand. This book...This book was the answer. This was the ritual Darren used to kill me, to kill my baby, to take power for himself.

Lately, I’d been retreating to my apartment after university but as it turned out, even that wasn’t safe anymore. Plus, I needed to think, assess, and analyze everything from every angle. And the library’s quiet corners were the perfect refuge for that. Roaming the aisles, I collected all the books I needed and strode toward the farthest corner of the library, away from hushed whispers and lingering eyes. An hour later of skimming through books, I took out a diary and a pen from my bag. Scattered in front of me on the table were the books about psychological disorders, true crime, stalking behavior, and a forensic science handbook.

The hairs on my arms stand taut on my skin, and I turn to my feet with the utmost caution. The black figure that is sitting on my bed has in his hands my Machiavellian Little Red Hood book, a version that a psychopathic writer wrote a few years ago, they are the same characters from the children's story but with a more disturbing look. Little Red Riding Hood is a teenager with dissociative disorder, she heads through a dark forest to the house of her old and wrinkled grandmother. This girl who has two faces, one is mom's little angel and the other a nocturnal monster that fucked travelers and campers in the forest, ripping off their private parts when they finished. The development of the st

Adelaide felt the silence pressing against the walls, thick and heavy, like the air before a storm. Even the dust motes seemed to hang motionless, suspended between breaths, as if the whole house were listening

I wanted to read it at that moment but something was telling me otherwise. I badly wanted to read it but there was no way I could do that, it was just too complicated. Calming my nervous self I opened the book hoping he wouldn't see something that would scare the hell out of me. But who was I for the moon goddess that listened to my prayers? She had never listened to my prayers and I was sure of it. The first sentence I saw inside the book was no less horrifying than the first one. I would say it was on the same level and I was even more scared when I saw it.

But still, my eyelids are absolutely reluctant to close. As I lay there staring blankly at the ceiling, I suddenly remembered Javier’s collection of horror books. That’s right. A while back, I’d idly picked up one of his scary stories. Since I’m actually a scaredy-cat, every time I read one of those horror stories, I’d immediately be scared out of my wits and end up falling asleep from emotional exhaustion.
