Summerween Day 2: Horror that's spooky (but not too spooky)

Part of the Summerween Recommendations. See the masterpost here.

Mileage will vary, but these are stories that have a scary factor but not something that should want to make you barf. Uncomfortable, yes, but that's the fun part!

I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me | Jamison Shea: Think Black Swan and the new Suspiria. Yeah, that's what's going on. (This could count for the title longer than five words prompt).

Lakesedge | Lyndall Clipstone: Gothic horror of a monster that lives in a creepy castle, has a tragic past, and may be a bit sexy. Gross monster and body stuff.

The Eyes are the Best Part | Monika Kim: I didn't know becoming a serial killer had the prerequiste of chowing down on so many eyeballs!

Together We Rot | Skyla Arndt: A gothic and religious horror romance that while gross is beautifully written and has great summer vibes.

Rolling in the Deep | Mira Grant: A scientific exploration to make a very not scientific video on mermaids. But oh no, mermaids are real and their teeth are very sharp.

The Locked Tomb series | Tamsyn Muir: Gideon the Ninth is a locked room splatter horror comedy. If you needed an excuse to give TLT series a try, this is a great time to do it.

No Longer Human | Osamu Dazai: What even is identity? What does being alive mean? This isn't on page gross out horror, but the existential dread of being alive.
