Thinking Outloud

Just a place where I express my feelings. Maybe you'll find some comfort here with me and my feelings.

an incomplete list of unsettling short stories I read in textbooks

the scarlet ibis

marigolds

the diamond necklace

the monkey’s paw

the open boat

the lady and the tiger

the minister’s black veil

an occurrence at owl creek bridge

a rose for emily

(I found that one by googling “short story corpse in the house,” first result)

the cask of amontillado

the yellow wallpaper

the most dangerous game

a good man is hard to find

some are well-known, some obscure, some I enjoy as an adult, all made me uncomfortable between the ages of 11-15

add your own weird shit, I wanna be literary and disturbed

the box social by james reaney. i remember we all had to silently read it in class, and you would hear the moment everyone reached the Part because some people would audibly go “what”

[fuchsiamae]

“The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury

[asexualzoro]

the lottery by shirley jackson

[eccentwrit]

i can’t believe Roald Dahl’s “The Landlady” wasn’t already mentioned and also it’s not so much unsettling as more absurdist but “The Leader” by Eugene Ionesco definitely made me go wtf

[idlewildly]

Ett halvt ark papper. I cried so much.

Some of Us Had Been Threatening Our Friend Colby, by Donald Barthelme

[titleleaf]

We read lots of good disturbing shit in hs or in the writing groups I joined in hs but somehow the top of the heap for shit that haunted me’s still indisputably Ethan Canin’s “The Palace Thief”. It’s not horror as such but it freaked me the fuck out. 

There was another O. Henry short story we read that was also really alarming but I had to google a major spoiler (which is also a warning) to recall the name – “The Furnished Room”.  

[lesbianshepard]

there will come soft rains by bradbury was very unsettling for middle school me

[demo-ness]

I had no idea so many were all written by Ray Bradbury, why did he do this to us

[i-see-your-light]

“Emergency” by Dennis Johnson – not entirely disturbing but really weird and there’s one Bad Part

“A Small, Good Thing” by Raymond Carver – again not all that bad but sad and kind of creepy 

[asterlark]

i had to read a collapse of horses by brian evenson for a writing class last year and it’s. very fucking weird

[wuqs]

“the birds” by du maurier

[periegesisvoid-deactivated]

Bradbury wrote a lot of weird shit. But, “The Book of Sand” and"The Library of Babel" by Luis Borges.

[raisedbycats]

I had to look up the one that made me the most upset and surprise surprise, also Bradbury, All Summer In a Day

Also The Jaunt by Stephen King

[an-untold-story-of-love]

Read NEVER AGAIN from the story Mediocre by TheMediocreOne (Sad) with 5 reads. mediocre, story, shortstory. ...
