What is the Best Horror Story in Your Opinion -

Reading the Kiwi Farms.

Seriously, I enjoy horror stories the set up tension and doubt of the protagonist sanity. It can have supernatural elements, but it's not needed. I really enjoy when the ending is left ambiguous. The Yellow Wallpaper, The Turn of the Screw, the original The Haunting, even Rosemarry's baby before the reveal ending is good for that.

Although a big fan of normal books like anyone else I have to admit that the funny books have a genuine capacity to convey horror. Amezu and Ito are the absolute geniuses of their craft here and in Japan.

Damn, I was about to say Ito as well. He drew a manga about living with his cats and they look genuinely creepy. Any other horror comics that you recommend?

I always loved these books.

Besides Amezu, all to personal taste.

- The Rat God (Richard Corben)
- The Sleep of Reason (C. Spike Trotman)
- Wytches (Scott Snyder)
- Chilling Adventures of Sabrina & Afterlife with Archie(Roberto Aguirre Sacasa)
- Baby Teeth (Donny Cates)
- The Empty Man (Cullen Bunn)

The things they come up with are so out there and goofy at first, but then as I read more I'm like, no these spirals really are scary and I don't know why.

Fuan No Tane by Masaaki Nakamura h as some really fun ghost stories the are collected from real people, if you like that kind of thing.

I know I posted this before but...

If video format counts.
I used love the "Tales of Terror from Tokyo and All over Japan" series. It's cheesy as shit, sometimes actually can be spooky. But overall pretty entertaining for a night binge.

I can't remember the book, but I was reading some zombie necromancer horror book thingy, and the zombies had worked their way into a neonatal unit in the book. At the time i was preggers with my son, and it was so graphic in how they were tearing apart the bodies of the babies and eating them, and how the parents were outside the ward screaming to get in..... It really stuck with me. That is superb horror, when the scenes the author paints in your mind stick with you after reading it. It wasnt even a long bit, maybe a chapter or two, but damn. It made me sick. It was amazing. Wish i coukd remember what book it was, i would reread it.

I appreciate the art. My favorite is the spider bite girl story.

I remember reading a story about some Soldiers at a camp in Afghanistan who spotted a "man" outside their camp who would come up on their
night vision sets but not register a heat signature (like he was dead). And their description of its movement was something along the lines of moving, but in place or looping, and like a marionette.

That stories really great, I like the story about the living scarecrow.

I don't really remember how the stories went since I was really young but my dad used to tell us a bunch of stories from back during his war years.
And iirc he told a story similar to that and one where he and his buddies were in some house and they could hear a woman wimpering even though they made sure their location was clear and secure.

My favorite was the one with the girl in bead and she hears a voice that says it's coming to get her. It gets closer and closer, saying "I'm on the first step. Now I'm on the second step. Now I'm outside you door. ect." It's never said what this person or thing looks like so it's all up to the imagination. That's what made it scary to me.

"The whisperer in darkness". Absolute horro-scenario for me, makes me wet my bed regularly.

The Damnation Game by Clive Barker is crazy good. Too bad he became such a preachy pseudo intellectual hack later on.

There's something about military horror stories that always gets my attention. I think the best horror stories for me are the ones that have impossible (unnatural) elements like the story I read of a driver in one of China's ring roads. As they are driving, the road markers jump between huge numbers and negative numbers and comes to dead ends and out of nowhere 90 degree turns. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm late to the party on this one but someone did some research on The Shining (movie) Overlook Hotel and found that it has spatial incompatibilities like impossible doors and windows. I love the ever living shit out this kind of stuff!!

What about the Winchester house?

I love military horror stories. I mentioned it in the conspiracies thread. WW1 had some of the best like the Hell hound at The Battle Of Mons.

Oh yes, I fell in love with the Winchester House when I was younger. Staircases leading to roofs and doors to long drops outside. I'll need to check out the conspiracies theory thread. As if trench warfare wasn't horrifying enough.
