/lit/ - Literature

Is there something I didn't caught in this book?
First few novelas were interesting but after that it was literary the same character in the same romantic bullshit.
> Be me
> American painter in Paris
> Love a woman
> There's something weird about her
> The end

Can somebody please recommend some scary horror novels for Halloween? Something other than Stephen King, Clive Barker, etc..

Does lit have any recommendations for books similar to the King in Yellow?

Other than Lovecraft, just looking for some generally unsettling or disturbing stories.

What is /lit/'s opinion on The King in Yellow?

At first I was confused by the polarization of reviews I'd seen, and even moreso when I got through the first story. The middle was alright, but then I started to eat into the second half...

I dont get it.

Tried to read pic related. Hurled it into the fireplace, went mad.

what are some dark, spooky and occult books?

I really like movies like Eraserhead and Begotten, with dark and dense atmosphere, what would be the equivalent in literature?
