We are on to a new week for the Book Blogger Hop hosted by the lovely folks over at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. This weeks questions is:
Are there any books that you find particularly creepy or unpleasant, even if they aren't horror novels? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)
This is a tough one for me, because I've always been a big fan of horror novels and ghost stories, since I was a kid. Like I grew up reading Goosebumps and literally any book in the Scholastic book orders that included the word ghost. Now I go to bed watching horror series on Netflix, like that's what puts me to sleep. Off the top of my head, I honestly can't think of a book, let alone multiple books, that gave me the creeps. And since I'm assuming the "unpleasant" is being used in a WTF just happened kind of way, I don't really have anything that comes to mind for that either. If anything, it would probably be true crime, but I haven't read any of that in years, so I honestly can't remember any of the ones I have read.
So my short answer to the question is no. What about you? Any books you find really creepy? Or maybe some true crime books I should check out (if those are your thing like horror is mine)?

There are some nonfiction books I have read that are creepy. Books like How to Make a Serial Killer and The Devil and Karl Marx.

I've not read any true crime. I prefer the fake stuff 🤣 I try to avoid horror as I prefer to sleep 🤣 Gothic Fiction is as scary as I get and to be honest even that gave me nightmares!

I'm not big on the "visual" horror stuff myself. Watching the early seasons of Supernatural is about all I can handle and the Bloody Mary episode still gives me chills and I don't like watching that one at night! Lol. I'm a chicken with "visual" horror, but I do love a good creepy novel. Ones that almost make you question your own sanity and such, like did you just hear something? Are you ignoring something you should already be running from?
