2 h. ago ‘It’s insanely sinister’: horror writers on the scariest stories they’ve ever read

Bloodthirsty ghosts, sadistic supercomputers, creepy childhood games ... Mariana Enríquez, Paul Tremblay, Daisy Johnson and others on the tales that kept them up at nightThe Summer People by Shirley Jackson I read this years ago and it’s a story that’s truly haunted me ever since. The titular “summer people” are the Allisons from New York, who rent the same off-grid country cottage each year. This time, instead of heading back to the city, they decide to extend their holiday for a month longer – something that seems to unsettle everyone in the nearby town. All pass on the same veiled caution that nobody has ever stayed at the lake beyond Labor Day. Nonetheless, the Allisons are determined to remain, and that’s when things start to get increasingly weird. The man who delivers the kerosene won’t sell to them. No one will deliver groceries to the cottage, and when the Allisons attempt to drive into town, the car won’t start. A storm gathers, the batteries in the radio fade, and as dark...

5 h. ago ‘Every time I step outside, the first thing on my mind is my forehead’: the women getting hair transplants

A growing wave of women are turning to what was once seen as a surgery for men, hoping it will cure their self-consciousness about high hairlines and thinning crowns. But with treatments costing thousands and bodge jobs common, is it suitable – or even safe?Aria, 27, first noticed her hair falling out after she had Covid in 2021. “It started receding at the temples,” she says, adding that, after two further bouts of Covid, the hair on the side of her head is now fluffy and sparse. A part-time nanny studying for a master’s in speech therapy, she hides the problem with a fringe. When she goes out, she wears a cap or headband to anchor it down, but activities such as walking in the wind or swimming feel impossible. “Even a fringe is not protective enough because at any minute someone could flick it up,” she says. “It makes me feel so vulnerable.”Aria started watching YouTube and TikTok videos of hair transplants two years ago. Now she has decided to take the plunge herself, and in a fe...
