One scary typed story is 'The Haunted Keyboard'. It's about a writer who starts to notice strange things happening whenever he types at his old typewriter. Words appear on the page that he didn't type, and they seem to be warnings from a ghostly presence. Another is 'The Typing Terror' where a girl finds an old manuscript in her attic. As she types it out to preserve it, she begins to experience the same horrors the author of the manuscript did. And 'The Cursed Computer' where every document typed on a particular computer seems to bring misfortune to the typist.
One common theme is the unknown or unseen force behind the typing. It could be a ghost, a demon, or some other supernatural entity. Another theme is the power of the written word. In these stories, the typed words often have a strange effect, like cursing the reader or bringing something bad to life. And often there's a sense of isolation, like the typist is alone when these strange things start to happen.
Sure. One of the scariest might be the story about the haunted house where strange noises and apparitions were constantly seen. It gives a really eerie feeling.
The 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' series is quite good. It has lots of short, spine - chilling tales.
One story could be 'The Haunted Doll'. A girl finds an old doll in the attic. At night, she hears strange noises coming from it. But it turns out it was just a mouse that had made its home inside the doll. It's a bit spooky at first but not overly so.
There was a short story in 2013 that I remember. It was about a girl who moved into an old apartment. Every night, she heard scratching sounds on the walls. As she investigated, she found out that a previous tenant had been murdered there and was trying to communicate from the other side. It was really terrifying with its build - up of suspense.
Sure. One classic scary story could be 'The Tell - Tale Heart' where the narrator's obsession and guilt drive him to madness. Another might be 'The Monkey's Paw' which shows the terrifying consequences of interfering with fate. And 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' with its headless horseman is also very spooky.
Yes. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is a good example of a scary short story. It tells the story of a woman who slowly descends into madness while being confined in a room with yellow wallpaper. In terms of scary fictions, Stephen King's works are great. For instance, 'Carrie' is a famous one. A bullied girl discovers she has telekinetic powers and uses them for revenge in a very bloody and scary way.
😋I don't recommend reading overly scary short stories, but if you really want to read them, the following books might satisfy your needs: Crafty House, The Ring, Dark Specter, Haunted House, and I'm About to Come Out. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
