Hi
everyone!
Back
with another book post!
Taking
a break from the squishy rom-coms and YA books, I thought it’ll be a great idea
to share some of my favorite creepy books. So this time without a long introduction and
emotional ramble, let’s just jump straight to the list.
- Sybil
(Flora Rheta Schreiben)
Sybil
had to top my list of favorite creepy books. It is by far the creepiest and the
most disturbing books I’ve ever read. It’s a true story of Sybil, a young girl
with multiple personalities, 16 to be precise.
Thank you ma, for this superlative recommendation.

| Spend a lazy weekend with this gem. |
Scary,
nasty and sinister vibes are on point. There was a controversy about the book
that Sybil’s therapist made up the entire story. I don’t know the authenticity
of this story, but this book succeeds in sending a chill down the spine.
You
can also watch the movie adaptation, which takes the feel to a new level
altogether.
- Gone
Girl (Gillian Flynn)
If
you’re looking for an intense and intriguing page turner, then this is what you
should be reading. It’s eerie, gruesome, and keeps you hooked. Amy is the star
of the show. She’s like dusk, shades of coral and grey run parallel.
 |
| There really are two sides to every story. Read this and find out both the sides. |
Amy
disappears and her loving husband Nick, becomes the prime suspect. Find out whether Nick is the killer or Amy’s diary
has some hidden secrets. Watch the movie and you’ll love it even more.
Recommended
to me by a friend (Aakriti thank you for this), Jo Nesbo’s The Snowman is fiercely
amazing. It scared the hell out of me. Everything is revealed, yet it keeps you
guessing.
Terrifying
at places, its fast paced and ghoulish. The description of the deaths happening
is beyond gruesome.
 |
| Loved this! |
One
of the best crime mysteries and creepy books I’ve read this year, The Snowman
is certainly going on the 2016 favorite’s shelf.
- Into
the Darkest Corner (Elizabeth Haynes)
Highly
recommend this to the fans of psychological thrillers. It traces the relationship
of beautiful Catherine and dapper Lee. How the relationship transforms into a
nightmare with Lee turning a monster is a major part of the book.
 |
| Creepy gets a whole new meaning with Into the Darkest Corner |
You
know that feeling when you think someone is keeping an eye on you, following
every move of yours. Even as Catherine embarks on a new journey, the fear and
her past refuse to leave her side. She meets Stuart and thinks life is sorted.
And then one day the phone rings….
- Stolen
(Lucy Christopher)
A
young girl, Gemma is stolen from Bangkok airport and is taken to the Australian
arid outback. The wild and barren land has nothing but Gemma and Ty, her
captor.
Ty
loves Gemma and she is the only person he wants in his life. By cutting all
ties from the outside world, Ty forces Gemma to fall in love with him.
 |
| A roller coaster ride of your emotions |
Each
day of survival is filled with anxiety, hatred and struggle. You can feel Gemma’s
helplessness and fear. It is fascinatingly written in the form of a letter from
Gemma to Ty. The details, good and bad aren’t spared which make Stolen a creepy
read.
Hope
you like reading these, and if you have any recommendations the comments
section awaits you. Also stay tuned for part II of this series.
Until
then happy reading!
