minus-squareWitch@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoThe House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It wasn’t scary per say but I had an interesting experience where I had a manic episode reading it, barely slept, and got absolutely obsessed with the idea of it as I read it. 10/10 loved the immersion aspect.
