I think mine is Salem's Lot by Stephen King.

No contest...

The scariest books ever written are by H.P. Lovecraft.

Even Stephen King admitted that Lovecraft was the best..

My scariest book ever has to be Helter Skelter about the Charles Manson murders. It was made even scarier to me since it was a true story...First time I slept with the lights on!

Wow - first time I have visited this Book Readers board and immediately clicked on this topic. I have been a SK fan for 35+ years. I think Pet Cemetery was the one that scared me the most. "I could hear the grit in her teeth" Somehow I never forgot that line!

"I could hear the grit in her teeth..."

Stopit stopit stopit!!!!! "LA LA LA LA LA" with fingers in my ears.....

Seriously, I never have finished that story. When I went to visit my sister this Spring her husband had the movie and as soon as I realized what it was I left!!!! Didin't come back in the house until long after it was over. LOL!

It by Stephen King and Phantoms by Dean Koontz.

I used to walk home from work at night when I was a teenager and after reading It by Stephen King, I ran home. There was always steam coming up through the sewer manholes on my walk home.

Phantoms was just scary to me.

The Exorcist and Salem's Lot.

I wondered why I even bothered at the end of it! 🙂

Dante's Inferno; pictures that would make your skin crawl.

the original Dracula - I had to take it to work and read it during lunch around a lot of people - and I was in my 30's :^O

Oh I almost forgot: The Haunting of Hill House. I was with my late mother visiting a friends house when I saw a copy of it. I started reading and couldn't put it down. I later saw the movie.
