All of the actors who played patients in “One Flew over the cuckoos nest” (1975) actually lived on the Oregon State Hospital psychiatric ward throughout production.

Books That People Claim Traumatized Them for Life

I love a creepy book – the more disturbing, the better. And I’m talking about true crime or fiction. Whatever makes me want to check under my bed at night is good in my book!

People shared the books that have totally traumatized them for life. Let’s see what they had to say!

1. A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor

Photo Credit: Amazon

“This is a short story, but it messed me up so bad. It’s about a family on a road trip that goes downhill and…it just gets so bad. Like, so bad. You have no idea where the story is going because it’s just like, ‘Oh, a sweet family of a mom and dad, their two kids and a baby, and the grandma who’s going a little crazy with old age!’ And then the story takes a hard left turn into Nopeville, USA and never leaves.”

2. Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

Photo Credit: Amazon

“When I read it, it changed my life. It was so horrifying and uncomfortable, yet beautiful in a tragic way. The book is more effective than any ‘Just Say No to Drugs’ class ever.”

3. Clay’s Ark by Octavia E. Butler

Photo Credit: Amazon

“I couldn’t sleep for days after I read it. It’s part of a series called The Patternist and it’s set in a dystopian future. A father and his twin daughters get kidnapped by a man who’s been infected with an alien organism that compels him to infect as many people as possible. Most die from the infection, but the people who survive turn into these creepy cat-like beings. I love cats, but damn…this book made me avoid mine for a while.”

4. The Collector by John Fowles

Photo Credit: Amazon

“This deserves a spot on this list…that’s all I’m going to say.”

5. Zoe Letting Go by Nora Price

Photo Credit: Amazon

“It’s about a girl who’s checked into a facility for a severe eating disorder and writing letters to her best friend back at home…or so she thinks. The subject matter, the unreliable narrator, and the twist at the end all make this book jarring and highly disturbing. A genuinely difficult read.”

6. Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

Photo Credit: Amazon

“This is the one book I’ve read that I can’t get out of my mind. While it’s not meant to be a horror or thriller novel, it’s haunted me more than any ‘scary’ book I’ve read.”

7. Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk

Photo Credit: Amazon

“I’m a big Palahniuk fan and I gotta say this is one of my favorites. It’s about a song that kills people, and it gets really dark REALLY fast. His writing style leaves the reader feeling intrigued and it is truly amazing.”

8. A Short Stay in Hell by Stephen L. Peck

Photo Credit: Amazon

“It is, simply put, the most disturbing book that I have encountered.”

9. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Photo Credit: Amazon

“I read this in a few hours because I couldn’t put it down. Once I finished, I couldn’t read anything for a week or so since the incredible twist shook me so bad. I would highly recommend for anyone who likes a good mind-fuck.”

10. If You Tell by Gregg Olsen

Photo Credit: Amazon

“I just finished this one. It’s a true story about a woman who tortures her own family and friends. Somehow I missed the ‘true story’ part when I first started reading, and I couldn’t wrap my head around someone writing fiction that was so depraved…only to find out it was true.”

I need to add some of these to my reading list!

Jameson Is Releasing a Limited-Edition Cold Brew

Yes!

I love whiskey. I love Jameson. I love cold brew.

So I think I’m really gonna love the new Jameson Cold Brew. The iconic Irish whiskey brand is releasing a limited-edition whiskey with a cold brew coffee flavor.

It seems like a lot of companies are jumping on the cold brew train, so why not a famous company like Jameson?

The drink is made with 100% Arabica Beans from Columbia and Brazil. You can enjoy this concoction any way you like, but the company recommends drinking it on its own, poured into a cold brew, or in an espresso martini. I’ll take all three, please!

AND – this is the best part – Jameson Cold Brew has 17mg of caffeine per shot of whiskey, so you should get a shot of energy while you start to get boozy. It’s a win-win!

On their website, the folks at Jameson said, “This is a perfectly balanced combination of our smooth Irish Whiskey with hints of toasted oak, dark chocolate and a rich coffee aroma.”

A lot of alcohol companies are getting into the coffee game, so this is not out of nowhere. Last year, Pabst Blue Ribbon released their “Hard Coffee” to consumers, while Jägermeister launched a cold brew coffee in 2019, as did SKYY Vodka.

Remember, this is a limited-edition special, so don’t sleep on it – you can order the James Cold Brew HERE. Count me in!

What do you think? Are you gonna give it a shot? Do you like your booze with a little caffeine? Tell us what you think in the comments! Bottoms up!
