Creepy Books * 1
    #1201620 - 01/08/03 03:36 PM (21 years, 24 days ago)

I have always been awed by the darker sides of human nature. I am currently reading Moby Dick and loving it. However, I don't really know where to go from here. Does anyone have any recomendations for some scary novels? I don't mean stuff like Stephen King, I'm looking for books that delve into the untalked about side of our nature, books I can get something out of other than cursing and gore.

"Aegypt" and "Daemonomania" by John Crowley... I highly recommend them. :smile:

Thank you all for the suggestions. I checked out Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked Tis Way Comes, and Island. I'll check out some of the others when I finish these three.

Oddly enough, when this thread was loading, I was thinking about Ray Bradbury and Fahrenheit 451. Many of his books are weird, but not too hard to follow.

it is not that _island_ is creepy; shucks, i wish i could live there... it's just that there are some rather creepy folk (well, the rani & of course the colonel... & maybe ol' joe aldehyde...) that we meet within the novel...

Actually,stephen king is quite good at describing mans darker nature.

I see what everyone is saying. It is so hard to form an opinion when you see both sides so clearly!

George Orwell : 1984

Definitely a good read

saw an earlier poster mention philip k. dick. after seeing blade runner enough times i just finally got around to reading 'do androids dream of electric sheep?'. it delves into questioning reality quite a bit and reminds me a bit of arthur c. clarke's '2001: a space odyssey' in questioning exactly what makes us conscious.

I 3rd the recommendation of HP Lovecraft, no one like him.  Check him out right now!
