Believe it or not, but I don't read much horror outside of Creepypasta, Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. I'm a sucker for old classic literature: Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is a good one, and I also love Marcus Aurelius' Reflections. Whilst it's not exactly a work of fiction, it is full of quotes still relevant in life today and it really helped me through a tough time in my life.

You should be like a rocky promontory against which the restless surf continuously pounds. It stands fast while the churning sea is lulled to sleep at its feet.

I hear you say – ``How unlucky that this should happen to me''. But not at all. Perhaps say instead how lucky I am that I am not broken by what has happened, and I am not afraid of what is about to happen. For the same blow might have stricken any one, but not many who would have absorbed it without capitulation and complaint.



I also loved Patrick Ness' amazing book; ''When A Monster Calls. ''I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read. I also really enjoyed the whole series of ''A Series of Unfortunate Events. ''I read them as a child and absolutely loved everything about them.
