It's October, /lit/. I've decided to invest my time reading those classic gothic horrors everyone's seen as the kitsch movie adaptations. Started off with Bram Stoker's Dracula. About a quarter of the way in now, and I quite enjoy it. It does well to establish an eerie atmosphere, and the journal format is really suited to getting into the protagonist's perspective.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 4 15:58:56 2021 No.19170582 >>19170484 Dracula is great, I hate how much shit it takes. But I also think the 200 years of vampire obsession which followed are more to blame for modern readers complaints. I' m reading Frankenstein now. it's just alright

Anyone know any novels that are genuinely scary? As in they will make you frightened? I have read some HP Lovecraft and plenty of other short horror works online, but it seems the literary medium just doesn't scare me like a movie, or even an audio version can.
