Yes absolutely!

When I read Devolution by Max Brooks, I had to take breaks for my mental health, especially because it was just so raw at times and really touched on a few squicks I have. Also, usually I have no problem eating and then consuming horror but I had to put it down after eating some ice scream because I could feel my stomach churning a little at the descriptions.

House of Leaves is another horror book that i had to make sure I was taking my time with, though it depended on the section I was in. With the really creepy descriptions and parts about the house, I took a lot of solace in my friend with whom I was buddy reading the book because we both felt this like, heavy vibe weigh on us reading it by ourselves. Also heightened my paranoia for a bit.

Finally, When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill is my usual answer for questions like these because I had such a strong visceral reaction to it. Certain characters evoked rage that I have rarely felt in my entire life, as I am typically I very laid back person and don’t express a lot. In some ways though, I had to finish the book because anytime I took a pause, I had uncontrollable crying jags every time I thought about the book. It definitely awakened something in me, thats for sure

Right now its F.T. Lukens and Andrew Joseph White.

A close one would be Anna-Marie McLemore but thats more of a auto-read, but not necessarily buy, since I’ve read a few of their books from the library
