6. Severed

Look, turn of the century horror skeeves me out, okay?

The year is 1916, and a young boy has run away from home. When he finds his way into the care of a mysterious old man traveling the roadways, only good things can happen, right? It’s not like the old man is going to prove dangerous or anything, right?

But what does he want, and what secret does he hide beneath his false teeth? Fair warning, this one gets brutal. Although it’s called Severed, so like, what did you expect? Unicorns? No, this one is great period piece horror, which makes it a rarity on this list.

But its extremely high level of quality makes it a perfect spot holder. It’s probably the shortest read I’m gonna recommend, so if you need a quick fix of horror, give this one a look.
