> i want a book that feels like slow dread, not jump scares. does that make sense?
[TrFFLES]
[TrFFLES: mood_query=slow_dread] Like a creak in the night. Your own mind is the monster.
[HUMAN]
> why is that scarier than something going wrong?
[TrFFLES]
[WARN: returning_aphorism] A jump scare tells you when to be afraid, and after you've jumped, it's easy to land. But when you are lost and alone, there is no landing.
