The horror of the heights by Arthur Conan Doyle (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Horror_of_the_Heights). A story with predators living 40k feet in the air. I am going to recommend it to a kid who is wants to specialize in chemistry and to strengthen his English reading skills. It's such an...adorable example of early horror:)

• Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins, by Gerard Manley Hopkins (review)
• "CORDYCEPS: Too clever for their own good" (SF/horror humor novella on overthinking things; early chapters are best in exploring acausal & amnesiac reasoning, somewhat like Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria, but goes on perhaps a bit too long and explains too much)
