A woman offers a lost boy some delicious sweets, but all she gets in return is the boy and his siblings consulting with a cat to murder her. After she's dead, all 4 siblings accidentally come out of the closet.

Then there is the classic, A young girl travels to a far off country and kills the first person she meets and then teams up with 3 others and plots to kill again.

Did she really meet... or plot, though?

A teenager so obsessed with monsters he makes it his life goals to put one of each in a pocket-sized container, trying to prove his worth by letting them battle in meaningless cockfights.

A naive homeowner invites an unhinged, highly demanding intruder into his home after offering a seemingly innocent piece of food.

What begins as a simple act of hospitality rapidly devolves into a relentless psychological hostage situation.

I am so ashamed of myself for not getting this one! I had the book on tape as a kid, and listened to it so much that the tape physically disintegrated on one of them!

What is the first one? A violent child hallucinating monsters. I don't recognize it.

Here's mine

A young boy with a bad home life gets sent to live in a school for magical kids, with moving photographs, and has to solve a mystery.

And no, it's not harry potter

It's not Harry Potter? Damn. Hmmm... is it the book people theorize JKR was inspired by? There was such a thing, was there? Or am i just making shit up?

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Iirc, there were several books that she likely took inspiration from, ranging from things like a secret platform at kings cross, I don't remember the name of that one, a wizard of earthsea is possibly an inspiration for her whole wizard boarding school schtick, though to be honest, I'd be genuinely surprised if JK read a lot of Le Guin and came away with her politics.

But no, it's neither of those. This one came slightly after HP, but it's very, very different. Posted the answer in upside down text in another reply, if you want to check, or you can keep guessing lol
