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

I read Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer In A Day” in seventh grade (it wasn’t assigned, I was just going through my textbook for new stuff to read) and as a bullied kid with SAD, it Fucked Me Up.

[scarlettaagni]

Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl

and this story that I can’t remember the name of and can’t find, though it might be by O. Henry? it’s about a bunch of demons who want to stop Santa Claus from going through with Christmas, and he must travel through the mountains they inhabit to escape their vices? (good christ I can’t remember the name for the life of me)

[ghostloner]

Ok but the laughing man and a good day for bananafish but j.d. Salinger

[nitrosplicer]

The City (195) Ray Bradbury. An intense commentary on colonialism and space exploration. I read it for a sci fi survey class.

Another short story I read in that sci fi class was Vaster than Empires and More Slow (1971) by Ursula K. Le Guin. A commentary on humanity and how human we believe ourselves to be. Also, an interesting commentary on mental health.

In the Woods Beneath the Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom, written in 1947 by Ango Sakaguchi. It made my skin crawl the first time I read it.

Also going to recommend For A Breath I Tarry by Roger Zelazny, a commentary on whether AI can become human in a future without humans: http://www.kulichki.com/moshkow/ZELQZNY/forbreat.txt

[cryingalonewithfrankenstein]

I didn’t read it in a text book, but “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” haunted me for life.

[annabellioncourt]

the Appointment in Samarra scarred me but also made me mad. A Jury of Her Peers was another one.

A Modest Proposal by Johnathan Swift

The Mask of Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe

When we read “A Modest Proposal” almost my whole junior honors English class was “I can’t believe he wants to eat babies!” I slight step above that was like “He’s not serious, right?” Our teacher stood there staring at us “Going I probably shouldn’t have assigned this.”

“The Mask of Red Death” 15 year old Goth me didn’t exactly know what was going on but I thought it was cool as shit. The rest of the class thought I was horrible.

[danasn0wc4t]

I didn’t read this one for a class, but “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar” by Poe. Do not under any circumstances look this one up if you get squeamish easily. Holy shit.

[ccborrega]

‘The thing on the doorstep’ by H.P. Lovecraft. It’s been the only Lovecraft story to actually make me scared, but fair warning, it’s p gross.

[zorkisms]

The Girl with the Hungry Eyes by Fritz Leiber stuck with me for a bit. Not 'disturbing' per se. Just wow. I suggest this book, actually, which has that story and others mentioned in it: Vampires, Zombies, Werewolves and Ghosts 25 classic stories of the supernatural Has many authors in it with the more unusual short stories. Some may be disturbing.

Also check out Stephen King's short story book titled Bazaar of Bad Dreams

@disobedientkeeper The pillow did make contact with the back of Mariku's head, and the blond gave a growl in response. Of course Shuji would make such a motion. Especially when flustered. It didn't excuse the response to bowl over the other with a pillow. "He thinks that you're not serious." How could he not become involved? Being in the same room, you couldn't block out everything. Bakura gave a shrug in response. "If he wants to listen or even believe me, that's on him. I can work on other things instead." Malik just took off quickly. Perhaps too quickly. The fiend stretched out on the couch thanks to Malik's absence.
