Try to rationalize the stories. Remind yourself that they are just fictional tales made to create fear. There's no real - life equivalent of the monsters or ghosts in those stories. You can also engage in relaxing activities like yoga or meditation to calm your nerves.
One of the most iconic is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator's descent into madness over the old man's 'vulture - eye' is both creepy and thought - provoking. Another is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. The idea of a vampire preying on the living has been a staple of horror ever since. And 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley also stands out. The concept of a man - made monster and the moral implications are very scary.
I'm not sure specifically if a character named Auggie returns in 'Scary Stories' as I haven't read or watched it closely enough to recall. You might want to check the detailed plot summaries or re - explore the source material.
Well, reading scary stories is good for facing fears in a safe way. You can experience the fear through the words while knowing you're actually not in real danger. It also helps in developing empathy as you get to understand the feelings of the characters in those terrifying situations. And it can be a great form of entertainment, especially if you like the rush of getting spooked.
