Alien/Aliens is a given for most people. I have been watching Event Horizon during the spooky season for years. What are some of your favorite books and movies with a horror/psychological thriller lean?

      The first time I read that book, I became uncertain of my own reality. In the 15 or so years since I first read it, I only read it once more and it was just as unsettling. It’s a goddamn masterpiece and I should really work up the strength to read it again.

        I only read it the one time and that was just about fifteen years ago for me as well.

        When I got to the part where he actually goes insane and it’s just like 20 pages of gobbledygook, I pushed myself to read all of the ranting as if it was coherent narrative.

        Yeah, I definitely also became untethered at multiple points reading that book.

        I’m reading the starless sea right now, erin Morgenstern’s second book, and her writing is so comfortable and cozy and fun to read, lilting like, that it might be interesting to give house of leaves another go over afterward.
