Everyone needs to read The Body, by Stephen King. It's a short story.
No, it's not horror.
Yes, it's one of the best short stories I have ever read.
And you need to read it.
It's very relevant to my own personal situation (no, I'm not walking through the woods with some friends trying to find a body; it's relevant in other ways), but it also makes you think, and it's just... It's really good.
You should all go and read it. You can probably just find it online.
I'm now off to go stare at a wall and try to go about the rest of my day.

I saw everyone discussing VE Schwab and I had to join in... A few years ago I read Shades of Magic, City of Ghosts, and Vicious. I actually like Vicious way more than Shades of Magic (I haven't read Vengeful yet though. It's been on my shelf for over three years... It's the sequel to one of my favorite books, so I've never read it because I'm scared of it not living up to the first one. Someday I'll have the strength to read it.)
Anyways, read more VE Schwab. She's great.
SpoilerI feel like I also need to mention that Vicious is kind of really dark. The whole premise is basically a superhero storyline except there's no heroes and it's just two genius villains fighting each other. I love it, but my friend found it disturbing. So I'm hesitant to recommend it because my friend hated it and I may have traumatized him with it... But it's also really good. And there's lots of discussion about morality, and I'm trash for stories revolving around that.

Did you say that there's a really dark book?
That talks a lot about morality?
*adds to list*

^this to all of what Flying said
mmmmmm Vicious aslskdjdhdajakkdjshals 100/10 I love it so much
I didn’t mention it because I never usually recommend it to people unless I know they’ll be fine with the darker parts
but it’s so goooooooood
*forcibly makes self stop talking about book*
I read A Darker Shade of Magic after Vicious, and it was... fine, but I have some problems with it that stopped me from enjoying it fully. My expectations were probably in the wrong place as well...
oh I accidentally went and rambled in a different direction I’m sorry I love talking about Schwab
I had mixed feelings about Vengeful when it first released but over time I’ve warmed up to it. I’d need to properly reread it though to figure out my stance on it now.
Umm... I’m sorry and I hope that was somewhat coherent, I didn’t mean to write much but it sort of happened and now I’m stopping myself
*slinks back into the shadows*
