This is a list with superb representatives of the genre, the only rule is to not have received the TV or movie adaptation treatment.

I've always wanted to read House of Leaves while listening to Poe's Haunted, as I believe she composed the album to be a companion to her brother's novel.

Can't remember which one I did first - read or listen - but they are great companions. Every time I listen to the album, I remember parts of the book.

I like Heart Shaped Box, but there are some parts I could barely read, let alone would be able to watch if they were on screen. CGI or no, can't do it.

I do want Allison Hewitt is Trapped though!

House of Leaves suckedddd

[winter_lace]

it's overhyped nonsense pretending to be revolutionary

[violet_crumble9]

I love how much you hate it

[winter_lace]

If it has a million haters I'm one of them. If hit has one hater it's me. If it has 0 haters I have died. etc.

Speaking of Joe Hill, I really wish someone would adapt The Fireman. It's by far his best work (even better than Locke and Key imo). Like, even though it's a tome of IT-sized proportions, I think I sped through it in about three days, I was so ensnared.

Apparently they've finally got directors for A Head Full of Ghosts. I hope Margaret qualley isnt involved anymore.

I want diavola. The contrast between the Italian countryside and NYC would be cool to see. The vibes were absolutely rancid.

My Darling dreadful thing. Dutch, period lesbians and spookiness.

The haunting of velkwood.

Lastly, the summer hikaru died as a series. I know there's gonna be an anime but if they got a live action correctly done it would absolutely slap.

Diavola was so good. It would make a good movie for sure.

Diavola was amazing. The way I wanted to shower after reading it, lol.
