It totally broke my mind for like a week!
He's a friend, a best-selling author, and one very imaginative guy!

Given your descriptions I would recommend Hannibal because the ending most is the most bizarre of the series and compared to how the characters behaved in the whole series of books it does fit your listed criteria. I do not think it is required to read it for Hannibal to make sense, but I recommend you read The Silence of the Lambs the previous book (but that's more crime novel).
If you are looking for literally "magical style" versions of your requirements, Stephen King books are a good choice. Pet Semetary, the misspelling is intentional, that's how the book points it out. It combines death and supernatural elements and the results definitely fit your criteria.
There are films of both books too if that interests you. I often see films, realized they were based off a book and read whole new series.

Hi!alexandriaNS wrote: ↑19 Apr 2020, 12:21 Flowers in the Attic by V. C. Andrews is really creepy. More so because it could realistically happen - like something you'd hear about on an episode of Oprah or Dr. Phil.
It doesn't make me paranoid or question reality though, I'm looking forward to reading more replies!
I agree with you and that book is on my bookshelf. Did you read the sequels? I think that the sequels are less likely to happen compared to the first.
The final book (I forgot the name) is based on the Gradmother's point of view. It's a sequel because it involves someone following her will and reads a story she documented about her life 20ish years after her death. It's a prequel because it is directly about what happened before Flowers in the Attic.
It gives a great deal of insight into why she behaves like she does and it is more likely something the grandmother mentions could happen in real life, but the first book is most likely to appear on reality TV. If it were real, the story could probably go on a true crime show like 20/20 or 48 hours.

I would definitely list it as downright creepy. At the same time, I’m a little shaky on how valid that is because it’s been a while since I read it. But I know I’m always shook after reading it.

P.S.: Books that gives you goosebumps as well
A lot of thank you in advance...
The Shadows by Alex North. I was creeped out while reading it but I could not put it down. It made you think that something was watching you as you were reading it. Totally recommend
