Can you recommend some not so scary horror stories?
Sure. One not so scary horror story could be 'The Canterville Ghost' by Oscar Wilde. It's about a ghost who tries to haunt a family but fails in rather comical ways. The family isn't really scared of him and instead he becomes more of an annoyance. Another is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. While it has some spooky elements, it's not overly terrifying. Ichabod Crane is a superstitious schoolteacher who has an encounter with the Headless Horseman. And 'The Monkey's Paw' is also a great one. A family gets a magical paw that can grant wishes, but with horrible consequences. However, the way it's written makes it more thought - provoking than truly scary.
Yes. There's 'A Good Man Goes to War' which has some horror - like elements but is not too scary. It's about a man's journey through a somewhat dark and dangerous world to rescue someone he loves. Also, 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman. A boy is raised by ghosts in a graveyard. There are some spooky parts, like the encounters with the ghouls, but overall it has a sense of warmth and adventure. Then there's 'The Girl with All the Gifts' which is set in a post - apocalyptic world filled with zombies. But the focus is more on the relationship between the characters and the mystery of the girl, so it's not a typical scary zombie story.
