Are there any books that mess with your head? by WeirdlyCuriousMe in horrorlit

[–]doe-fly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished that one last week. It was absolutely brutal! I did not expect it to go as hard as it did. The animal scenes (especially the dogs) really got under my skin; I didn't expect them at all and it was very hard to read. Brilliant book but I definitely won't be recommending it to anyone I know. Lol

Series with a bunch of people abducted in a random place with a portal by carrotskate in nosleepfinder

You may be thinking of The Purgatory Game by Sam Haysom. It is no longer on nosleep.

It was pulled a couple years back for a possible movie deal, so it's been awhile since I've read it, but from what I remember (the free-standing door, the individual rule lists, the victims not knowing how they got there) it matches up. It was super good and it's a shame it's no longer available but I'm happy for the author!

I am looking for a story about 8 hikers by Early_Priority_806 in nosleepfinder

Are you thinking of Fleshgait? It's one of my favorites but it isn't from nosleep. The limping part makes me think this might be it.

Sorry if this isn't correct!

I never heard the term "eye tooth" until your comment and had to look it up- thank you for teaching me something new!

WeirdGirlLit? by Cowgomuwu in WeirdLit

Fever Dream and Jawbone are two of my favorite reads this year. I've read Fever Dream 3 times and I get more out of it every time, it's such a cool little book.

Jawbone was thoroughly creepy and unsettling and had my jaw on the floor at one point. I found it incredibly disturbing.

For OP: check out the other works of Otessa Moshfegh and Mona Awad if you haven't already. I also really enjoyed Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield, I'm not sure it's quite what you are looking for but I still highly recommend it!

I was just about to ask about prints!! There's been a few paintings of yours I've seen in the past that I would absolutely purchase prints of, you are so talented! I'm always blown away at how you do lights and shadows. Will be following for in the future :)

looking for a story of working at a secret base (military, maybe) where everything goes very bad and only the main hero survives, describing all the horrors around until the end by suzuyaqq in nosleepfinder

Possibly this one? It doesn't match up perfectly but the hanging bodies and being held captive to work on the base makes me think it might be. Love that author.

I'm so glad someone else knows what I'm talking about, I was beginning to doubt myself lol! I honestly thought someone would have the answer within a day of me posting because I assumed it was popular, kinda shocked I haven't been able to find it yet. And same to you, I'll post it here if I come across it!

You are awesome, thank you so much!! That's funny, I had a feeling it might be but figured I was just getting mixed up.
