I’ve just finished The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I’ve also read notes from underground, the Prince, the trial (kafka), the fall (Camus) etc. looking for a dark read I can get into this winter. Prefer classics over new. Something not too long but just has to have a dark evil energy around it. Also do not like overly fictitious books no sci fi of anything like that! Any recommendations welcome 🙂

A Short in Hell – Steven Peck
Cogwheels by Akutagawa
In my opinion, a dark non-fiction book surpassed any fictional book. The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann is quite dark and emanates winter vibes.
Kallocain by Karin Boye, originally published in 1940, well before *1984*.
