got........Angst ??

I must confess...I do relish well wrought
Angst...stories with a terrifying theme...
So here's a list of the best ones
I've found so far....caution...
if "angst" is not your thing..
better go somewhere else, ok?
*****************
btw:Angst is a Germanic word for
fear or anxiety. It is used in English to describe
an intense feeling of emotional strife.
In German, it is the fear of possible suffering
and a behavior resulting from uncertainty and
strain which is caused by pain, loss and death.
Angst is usually a nondirectional emotion...associated
with...confusion and anxiety within the self.

************************
4-10:a couple of Reijiro's "Let Me Tell You..."

***********
Have been maundering thru the SS's
competitions(fr.'05 to '09)
looking over the fen's choices...
interesting...& some additions to
this list are necessary...
for instance:
Reluctant Dragon has a nice little
tidbit called: "Drip"
**********
If there could be a section labeled
'angst with a happy ending', that
would be...
DeeMG's "A Normal Night"
btw: beautiful writing!
**************************
you'll have to go to FicWad to find this one...
Jaganashi: Research
(it's not on ff..& no wonder!)
D does some very thoro research.
the angsty bit is in the last lines..
& very subtle..do you see it?
**************
remembered one more:
Caleigho Meer has a really horrible little thing
called: "Skin"... (verges on a 'horror' tale, writing
is, as usual, quite good) it depicts some samples of
 taxidermy..'nuf said?
