This shit right here. Very clever how the horror happens as the protagonist is immersed in his book oblivious to his surroundings, much as you reading it are also immersed and oblivious

Canon Alberic's Scrapbook, very cleverly done as the horror happens while the protagonist is distracted by being immersed in a book, exactly as you the reader are also immersed in your book
Also the bit in Orestia when the Furies start whispering in the background

My nigga. Canon Alberic's Scrapbook made me shit bricks when I first read it. Very effective little story, clever how the horror happens as the character is immersed in his book and is oblivious to the thing creeping up behind him, exactly as you the reader are also immersed in *your* book, and oblivious to what ever is in the room with you. Real chills, does for reading alone in the night what Psycho does for showers
