/lit/ - Literature

It used to take literal months to get these checked out from the school library, but when you finally got them it all felt worth it. I remember reading through all the references and stuff, I was so into them.

Guys, can any of you help me find a book I remember from being a kid? It was similar to pic related, short horror stories for kids. One of them was about a guy with a mouth on his stomach, who fed children to it. Then there was one about this kid who gets trapped in another dimension under his bed. The last one I remember was one where you're led to believe some people are being attacked by aliens, but in the end it turns out we're the aliens.

If you have any clue what I'm talking about please let me know.

I'm looking for a book that will genuinely scare me, since many films these days fail to do so. Books that have kept you awake /lit/. Let's hear them.

It's almost Halloween, /lit/!

Any campfire-and-a-tent-style horror stories?
Can be as lame or as complicated as you want. As long as it freaks people out for the rest of the night.

Preferably, something not incredibly wordy. These stories are supposed to be easily retold!

These stories are actually kind of hilarious when someone reads them like that.

I found this demon spawn in the basement of my new house, while cleaning out old boxes and junk the previous owners had left.
