📚 Some books raised us. Others haunted us.

This week on A.J. Chat, we revisit the stories we were told as kids—the ones that didn’t just entertain, but unintentionally scarred us for life.

From Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark to Coraline, The Velveteen Rabbit to The Little Match Girl, these books were meant to be sweet… but ended up teaching us about death, fear, grief, and the harsh truths of growing up.

You thought they were classics. Turns out, they were early horror training.

🎙️ 10 books.

💔 Lifelong emotional damage.

💡 Way deeper than we realized.
