The Slaughter - Read a slasher / Read a book that deals with war
The fear of pure, unpredictable, unmotivated violence. The fear of pain coming at sudden, random moments.

For this prompt, read a book that is a slasher, or if you're not into horror, read a book that deals with war in some way - either is set during one or has characters dealing with its repercussions or trying to stop it from happening.
