Can you recommend some good realistic fiction scary stories?
I also like 'Bird Box' by Josh Malerman. In this story, people have to survive in a world where looking at certain things will drive you to insanity. The sense of dread and the unknown lurking outside is really frightening.
Another one is 'The Girl with All the Gifts' by M. R. Carey. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where a young girl has a very strange condition. The story is scary in a more subtle way as it makes you question what it means to be human and the moral implications of survival.
What are some good scary realistic fiction books?
Some scary realistic fiction books are 'Room' by Emma Donoghue. It's a harrowing story of a woman and her son held captive in a small room, and the psychological trauma they endure is both terrifying and moving. Then there's 'The Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris. The character of Hannibal Lecter is one of the most chilling in literature, and the cat - and - mouse game between Clarice Starling and him is full of suspense and horror. And 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' by Lionel Shriver is a disturbing exploration of a mother's relationship with her son who has committed a heinous act.
