A young woman was walking alone on the road in the dark. Suddenly, she heard a deep voice calling her name. The woman turned around in horror and saw a ghost with a twisted face standing behind her. The woman screamed and ran, but the ghost followed her and threatened her life. In the end, the woman successfully escaped the pursuit of the ghost, but her heart was greatly traumatized.
Well, short super scary stories tend to have a strong atmosphere. They build up a mood of dread very fast. The characters in these stories are often ordinary people put into extraordinary and terrifying situations. This makes it easier for the reader to relate to them. Also, these stories often have a twist at the end. It could be something that completely changes the way you thought about the story up until that point. For instance, a character you thought was the hero turns out to be the source of the horror. And they use simple but effective language to convey the fear.
Here's one. A girl walked alone in an old cemetery. Suddenly, she saw a figure in white. It vanished when she blinked. As she ran away, she heard a soft whisper saying her name.
One super scary short story is about a haunted house. A family moved into an old, dilapidated house. Every night, they would hear strange scratching noises coming from the attic. One day, the youngest child went up to the attic out of curiosity. She saw a shadowy figure in the corner. When she screamed, the figure vanished, but from that day on, she was haunted by nightmares of the figure coming closer and closer.
Often, there's a sense of isolation. For example, in many of these stories, the protagonist is alone in a spooky place like an old mansion or a deserted forest. This isolation heightens the fear.
Here's an interesting one. I heard a knock on my window at midnight. When I opened the curtain, a pale face stared back at me for a second then disappeared.
If you want a horror novel, you can look at "I'm Caught in the Strange" or "The Demon Sealing Heavenly Tactics General." These two books belong to the suspense-mystery suspense genre. There are many strange plots and thrilling scenes that can scare people. However, if you are afraid of horror stories, you can read other types of novels. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation.

The unknown. When you don't know what's going to happen next, it scares you. For example, in a story where a character is being followed but can't see who or what it is. It creates a sense of dread.
Once upon a time, in an old, abandoned asylum. A young girl named Lily was dared by her friends to spend a night there. As she walked through the dark corridors, she heard strange whispers. Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her ankle. She screamed but no one could hear her. The next day, her friends found her body, her face frozen in horror.
For me, a super scary story often has elements like unexpected twists, creepy settings, and really intense suspense. It makes you feel like you're constantly on the edge of your seat.
