Have you ever been stuck in an endless “I’m good. How are You?” loop? Have you ever felt like skipping the country and starting a new life because you thought someone was waving at you but they were waving at the person behind you? Have you ever literally forgotten how a smile’s supposed to work and ended up just kind of baring your teeth at someone like an angry cat? Here are 9 truly chilling problems for the socially awkward, helpfully illustrated by vintage paperbacks.
The Chilling Horror
A pulse-pounding tale about a normal interaction gone horribly, irrevocably wrong.
The Ghastly Thriller
A terrible mistake that turns into an endless waking nightmare.
The Story of a Dark Past
A haunting reminder that we can never outrun our past.
