Mildly Horrific for Spooky Reading (44 books)

Listopia > Mildly Horrific for Spooky Reading

Reads that give you shivers but not necessarily nightmares. Magic mixing with real life, rewrites of fairy tales and fables, rogue robots, renegade AI, spider planets, and mystical creatures we look over our shoulders and under our beds for. Cerebral horror rather than graphic. Dark humor and satire welcome.
