Synopsis
The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

Another great one is 'The King in Yellow' by Robert W. Chambers. It contains a series of stories that are connected by the presence of a play, also called 'The King in Yellow'. Reading the play within the stories is said to drive people insane, and the overall atmosphere of the book is one of creeping dread and otherworldly horror.

I would also recommend 'The Shining' by Stephen King. While it's a well - known horror novel, it has strong elements of surreal horror. The haunted Overlook Hotel is filled with strange visions, from the elevator full of blood to the ghosts in the corridors. Jack Torrance's descent into madness as he is influenced by the hotel's malevolent forces is a harrowing journey.

Surreal horror novels often feature dream - like or illogical settings. For example, in 'House of Leaves', the constantly changing layout of the house doesn't follow normal physical laws. They also tend to have an air of the uncanny, where things seem familiar yet deeply wrong. The characters may experience a sense of disorientation and confusion, like in 'The King in Yellow' where the strange play within the book seems to seep into reality. Another characteristic is the blurring of boundaries, such as between the real world and a nightmare world as seen in 'Coraline'.

Jorge Luis Borges' works often fall into the surreal category. For instance, 'The Library of Babel' presents a mind - boggling concept of an infinite library containing all possible books. His writing is full of complex ideas, labyrinthine structures, and strange, dream - like scenarios that make his novels some of the best in the surreal genre.

One of the well - known surreal horror novels is 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. It plays with the format of the book, with text going in different directions, creating a sense of disorientation that is both surreal and terrifying. Another is 'The King in Yellow' by Robert W. Chambers, which has an otherworldly and dream - like quality to its horror elements. And 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman also has a touch of surreal horror as Coraline discovers a strange, parallel world that is both fascinating and full of danger.
