Something really scary like It from Stephen King!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Stephen King's IT is definitely very creepy - have you tried The Shining!? I think that's his best novel!.

I would love to find a book that really does scare me but so far, the creepiest one I've read is 'The Ghosts of Sleath' by James Herbert!. There was just this one moment in the book when someone hears the sound of children singing in a school building that had been empty for years!. The way it was written and described just made me shiver!.

'The Rats' & 'Domain' by James Herbert are actually pretty scary too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wished I could remember the name of the book, but I read it in the 70's!. It was about a portrait of a woman and a fierce looking dog!. Each night the moon would shine on the portrait and the dog would come to life and attack & kill people!. It was scary!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Without a doubt, The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty!.
Ghost Story by Peter Straub is very scary too

and I loved Heart Shaped Box by Stephen King's demon spawn Joe Hill!.

As an author, Misery by Stephen King scared me too!. I still can't look at an electric knife without hiding my hands!.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark used to scare the crumbs out of me!.

Same thing with the Super Scary Stories for Sleepovers series!.

They all have short stories!. Some are better than others, but some will frighten you beyond words, believe me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the only book that made me read the end before I could go on was Misery because I was so scared for Paul Sheldon! Otherwise S K is quite mild! I have never had nightmares or anything from any horror book and I have read hundreds!Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is hard for a book to scare me but i think life of the living dummies ( or something like that) is quite scary soz i don't know the authorWww@QuestionHome@Com

The House on the Borderland , The Ghost Pirates or The Night Land written by William Hope Hodgson !.
