She laughs like I’m harmless.
But I’d wear her skin just to feel close.
Love isn’t sweet—it’s consuming.

Hysterical a novel by Amber Dean psychosexual suspense female serial killer gritty NYC noir horror psychological thriller

$In the chaotic allure of 2013 New York City, Jessie Anne appears to have it all together: sharp wit, quiet intensity, and a wild nightlife filled with underground raves and unconventional gigs. But beneath her composed exterior lies a fractured psyche consumed by unrequited love for her best friend, Tinsel, and a dangerous fascination with death. As her infatuation with Tinsel deepens, Jessie’s double life begins to blur. The lines between love, envy, and obsession vanish, pulling her further into fantasies she can no longer control. People in her life become pawns—tools to process her frustration and rejection, leaving a bloody trail in their wake. Hysterical is a visceral journey into the twisted psyche of a woman navigating love, obsession, and her most disturbing cravings. Amber Dean’s chilling debut blends biting humor with unnerving suspense, exploring the raw underbelly of city life where pleasure and peril collide.$

Are you ever spending the night with a guy & thinking what if I slip him a roofie?
Are you ever touching his chest & picturing how youd carve it open just to see inside?
Are you ever smiling too wide & too still like your face forgot how to be human?
She is

One sentence horror time:
Late at night, Alexa whispered, “I’ve locked the doors, turned off your phone, and called him for you—run.”

One sentence horror💀💀
As the explorers candle sputtered out the mummy’s crusted lids cracked open and its bandages peeled away in clotted ribbons exposing hollow sockets weeping black slime and a worm riddled tongue waiting to taste living flesh.

One sentence horror 🧟
As the grave robber pried open the coffin, a cold hand shot out, gripping his wrist with the unmistakable strength of something long dead and furious.

Horror inspiration from my 3 year old: Him:”mommy can you show me your bones?”
Me:”How they’re under my skin?”
Him:”I could just peal it off for you and after I see your bones we can share my glue to stick it back on!”
Me: 😳
Him:”don’t worry mommy I’ll be very careful and do it very very gently”

Your daily slice of single sentence horror 🙀
I woke up to find my cat perched on my chest, its usual purr replaced by a low, guttural growl, and its eyes gleaming with an intelligence that wasn’t its own.
