Comment what books have caused you to become distressed, traumatized, or unsettled in any way. Please elaborate as to why.

minus-squareKellamity@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoFor me, pet semetary was very disturbing as an examination of a parent’s grief. But kinda underwhelming as a supernatural afterlife story. Dont get me wrong, still loved it, but yeah the build up is way more harrowing than the pay-off
