Geek Love by Katherine Dunn?

This is DEFINITELY it.

I can so rarely answer these, and when I could, I'm beaten. But yes, it's absolutely Geek Love.

A sci fi story or novel, from before 1988-ish. The protagonists are transported to a future in which society has eliminated "Right brained" people, creativity and the arts were deemed frivolous and unnecessary and the only people left are "Left brained" scientists and engineers.

Isn't that kind of the plot of Equilibrium? All arts were destroyed? Or am I misremembering?

Horror anthology I saw in the 90s

It wasn’t Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark but was like it. Spooky tales some with drawings. Not as gruesome but spooky still

The only one I can remember is there’s one about a woman whose driving and spots a hitchhiker at night and she’s like awww hell no and keeps driving past him

But then she sees him again. And again. And again. Until her car starts dying and all of a sudden he’s holding a knife. Iirc it ends by not saying what happens but jumps to later another driver picks up a woman or a man and a woman and implies that she was the original driver. Iirc the new driver gets killed or winds up dead

I think the drawing was a hitchhiker. Creepy guy in a jacket or trenchcoat

The only other horror anthology I can think of that's like that is "Scary Stories for Sleepovers". Aimed at kids around 8-10 years old with pictures.

There's copies on archive.org but you'll probably need an account to view the whole thing - https://archive.org/details/railwayghostshig00cohe/page/20/mode/2up?view=theater



This gives me huge Uninvited vibes. I wish Zojoi would remake that game.

And it can be read online here. Wow.

That is absolutely heartbreaking. I've had similar nightmares.

Goddamn.
