Horror has a bit of a reputation. You know: blood, slashers, and â¨ď¸please traumatise me before bedtimeâ¨ď¸
But it can be eerie, atmospheric, funny, emotional, empowering, unsettling and beautifully weirdâ¤ď¸
This is an ongoing, beginner-friendly, breaking-the-horror-stereotype-kinda list for anyone who doesn't want to immediately throw the book across the room!
There is always the possibility of triggers. Never push yourself through something that makes you feel too uncomfortable!
Lots of love
