The problem isn't so much stories that aren't scary. It's that there are countless stories that try to be scary that suck major tentacle. We're a horror-based community but that doesn't mean we only accept horror. Read Love. It's probably the best story on the site and it's not even a horror story.

Think of it like this; Stephen King is widely considered to be the king (pun intended) of horror. Does that mean he strictly writes horror stories? No. Read The Green Mile or The Shawshank Redemption. Those aren't horror.

Also try the Suggested Reading for some of the best articles.

Finally, don't forget that horror is very subjective. What may be scary to someone is laughable to another.
