Stories that thrill with monsters, haunted houses, and other classic tropes of the horror genre have never failed to keep me hooked, but I'll be honest: I'm pretty averse to gore and body horror. As a result, my list of "horror" picks is actually more "horror-lite," and is punctuated with eerie tales that cross genres into the historical, fantastical, and mysterious.
