They leave a lot to the imagination. Consider 'The empty swing moved by itself.' It doesn't explain why, and that's what makes it so terrifying. Your mind fills in the blanks with all kinds of horrible possibilities, and that's the power of very very short horror stories.
There was a story about an old, abandoned asylum. People said at night, strange noises came from it. One night, a curious young man entered. The halls were dark and cold. As he walked, he heard whispers that seemed to be right beside him. Then, out of nowhere, a cold hand grabbed his ankle. He screamed but no one could hear him.
The sense of helplessness. When the characters in a horror story can't escape or fight back against the horror element, it's really scary. Like in a story where a person is trapped in a haunted place with no way out and is being hunted by an unseen entity. It makes the reader or listener feel the same sense of dread and powerlessness. Also, the use of vivid and disturbing descriptions, such as grotesque monsters or gory scenes, can add to the horror.
😋I recommend the following three novels to you:
Thriller Theater
Thriller Paradise
I Have a House of Horrors
They were all classic horror and horror novels that were loved by readers. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
One very horror story is about a haunted house. A family moved in and every night they heard strange noises, like scratching on the walls. Objects would move on their own. In the end, they discovered the house was built on an old cemetery.
Many horror very short stories rely on a sense of isolation. The characters in these stories are often alone or cut off from help. In 'The Landlady', the young man is alone in the boarding house with the strange landlady. And they usually have a strong atmosphere. Whether it's the oppressive feeling in 'The Yellow Wallpaper' or the general sense of dread in 'The Monkey's Paw'.
