What are some examples of disturbing good stories?

A disturbing bedtime story might involve a lost traveler in a dark forest. As the night falls, the traveler hears howls of strange creatures all around. The trees seem to have a life of their own, with branches reaching out like arms to grab the traveler. The deeper the traveler goes into the forest, the more disoriented they become, and there's a sense of impending doom as they struggle to find a way out.

One disturbing family story could be about a family where there is long - term emotional abuse. For example, a child is constantly belittled and made to feel worthless by a parent. Another could be a family with a history of incestuous relationships, which is extremely disturbing both morally and psychologically. Also, a story of a family torn apart by extreme greed, where family members fight over inheritance to the point of causing harm to one another.

One example of disturbing fiction is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. It contains extremely violent and disturbing descriptions of a serial killer's actions. Another is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, which shows a post - apocalyptic world filled with despair and inhumane situations. And 'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess also has disturbing scenes of violence and the dehumanization of its characters.

One example could be 'The Killing Joke' by Alan Moore. It has some dark and disturbing themes and imagery related to the Joker's origin. Another is 'Watchmen' which also contains disturbing elements in its exploration of a dystopian world and the complex, often morally ambiguous characters.

One example is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. It contains extremely graphic and disturbing descriptions of violence and a warped view of society. Another is 'The Catcher in the Rye' which, while not as overtly violent, has a sense of angst and alienation that some find disturbing. Also, 'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess is disturbing with its themes of violence and the loss of free will.

One example is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. It delves into the mind of a wealthy and deranged serial killer in a very disturbing way. The graphic descriptions of violence and the character's warped view of society are quite unsettling.

One example could be 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Holden Caulfield's angst and his encounters in a rather seedy adult world can be disturbing to some. His alienation and disillusionment are palpable throughout the novel.

A character in a post - apocalyptic story could have a disturbing back story of being the sole survivor of a massacre in their small community. They witnessed the brutal killing of their family and friends by raiders. This experience has made them distrustful and extremely cautious, always on edge, and perhaps more willing to take extreme measures to protect themselves in the future.

Some disturbing fanfiction might involve extreme and out - of - character violence. For example, writing about a beloved character like Hermione being brutally tortured in a very graphic way that goes against the spirit of the original series. Another could be creating really dark and twisted relationships that are not in line with the positive themes of the books, like forcing a romantic connection between characters that is completely inappropriate.

One example is 'Corpse Party'. It has a very disturbing atmosphere with themes of death and horror. The graphics and storylines are designed to give a sense of unease. Another could be 'Doki Doki Literature Club', which starts off seeming like a normal dating sim but then takes a very dark and disturbing turn. There's also 'Mad Father' that involves a lot of grotesque and creepy elements in its story about a mad doctor and his experiments.
