aka most of the horror I read. Titles on this list are low on gore, body horror, or anything else you'd consider "scary" in the traditional sense. Instead, they focus on atmosphere and eerie vibes to create a horror experience that doesn't need to be shocking to be effective.

Definitely shows that these are maybe starter horror because the two books I did read from this list are probably the level of âscaryâ Iâm fine with. đ Love the list!


Glad you like it!! Some of these are definitely on the strange side for starter horror but I'd consider them all more-or-less the same level of scary!
