I finally started reading books fairly reguraly. I finished A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck and it was the most amazing thing I ever read. I'm currently reading Come Closer by Sara Gran and i'm enjoying it as well. I need suggestions from my favorite Lemmy librophiles. Thank you!

Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. The horror is a planned murder, the psychological part is how the murderer goes slowly crazy once the guilt sets in.

    I'll do you one better and recommend Dostoevsky's The Double. Way more sinister and eerie, as it deals with schizophrenia.
