I have soooo many ideas in my head but theyre so scrambled that I cannot choose one to write. I want to write a book. Im heavily inspired by "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe, and "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. I love psychological horror. Ive struggled with a lot of mental struggles so I want it to relate to that. I want disturbing stories that make you think, and strange quotes you would see on a 15 year old girl's pinterest page. Any Ideas?

Just like Stephen King has his Macroverso and Lovecraft has his Mythos, I wanted to have a name to my universe, but I simply can’t think of nothing, so I’m gonna give a really resumed version of some of my stories and see if someone has any idea to help. One of my first stories was that of a group of teenagers that had to confront some supernatural threats in a small interior town. Those threats were basically a family that disappeared and had actually been used as vital energy for the opening of a portal in a days long ritual. The family members became monsters and they discovered that the father of the town’s church was the leader of the cult. Another story, which is called “Over The Corru

I'm looking for novels where weird freaky shit just suddenly happens to somebody going about their regular life. Where the spooks aren't some metaphor for some kind of underlying grief or trauma and where the malicious force isn't personally attached to the MC and where the narrative isn't centered around the MC's personal life/struggles that are unrelated to the incident.

Where the main focus of the story is about the circumstances of the situation itself and how the MC attempts to deal with it.

Any suggestions?

Edit: NOT extreme horror/gore porn. I'm looking for paranormal stories.

Edit 2: I should clarify that what I meant by "no deeper meaning" is that the narrative isn't framed in a

I always thought it was interesting that Batman has no faith in the justice system to apprehend bad guys: He explicitly says the cops are too corrupt and the system is broken, and he has a moral obligation to act on it and do what they can't do, resolve situations, etc. And you know, he's not wrong about Gotham? So many corrupt cops.

But the other side of that thirty foot tall coin, aren't the courts and penal systems just as corrupt and poorly run? Why he trusts the cops to handle the case from the point he punches them all into submission and ties them up is kind of baffling. He is delivering them directly into the hands of the corrupt people that he had complaints with.

So I was curious why blood grenades did better on chiralium yield than shooting with a rifle and snuck up on a golden CC and shot it. Turns out when it dies, it splits into 5-6 little tiny golden CCs. Blood grenades get those too; otherwise they disappear unless you manage to shoot them. Good luck!

I googled this and I see people mention farming them near architect, but I'm running into these things by Animal Shelter, just southeast on the way to the road there. Little golden slimes, that run away when you get close and disappear in the tar.

I have been chucking blood grenades at them for maybe 25 mins now and I've made over ten thousand Chiralium. Just head to the Animal Shelter door, then back southeast on the plateaus where the chiralium bugs are. Spot the gold creatures carefully, they look like Pac-man ghosts, blow them up (maybe shoot them too? Idk) and I'm getting like 1000 chiralium dust per grenade expended. If you get lucky you can get 5 with three grenades, if they flee int

If you've never seen Columbo, here's a quick primer: >!(I meant it to be quick but I accidentally wrote like over a thousand words about Columbo)!<

It’s a murder mystery series flipped on its head. You see the murder in the cold open, know exactly who did it, and then spend the rest of the episode watching them squirm while trying to cover it up.

Enter: Lieutenant Columbo, LAPD homicide played by Peter Falk. He’s disheveled, polite to a fault, wears a wrinkled raincoat, drives a beat-up Peugeot, and shuffles around asking seemingly irrelevant questions. He sometimes has his droopy lazy basset hound in tow. He doesn't carry his gun, allegedly can't qualify at the range, and beha

I think it would just be interesting to talk about some of the cases in the primary points to know about double jeopardy to clear up some common misconceptions. Disclaimer: I’m no expert, just a guy on the internet. If any lawyers see a mistake or even just a confusing part, feel free to correct me. Actual lawyers are probably quite familiar with these cases already but it’s still interesting. Presumably the other people that hang out here find legal cases interesting so here we go as best as I can manage:
