whats the scarest book youve ever read in your life?

1984, by George Orwell. Here's a line: "....a boot, stamping on a human face, forever..." it gets worse, much worse.

Years ago I read "Amityville Horror".

The family went to bed and I was in the living room reading. Well, I got sleepy but before I could go to bed --I had to turn out the living room light.....which meant the whole house would be dark.

I flipped the light switch off and ran into and through the dark bedroom and jumped---literally jumped into the bed.

That was one scary book.

Gerald's Game by Stephen King

The short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.

The book "Sybil" by Flora Rheta Schreiber

"Cujo" by Stephen King is really well written. I felt like I was being attacked by the dog! Also, "The Green Mile" is a very good set of books. When the French guy is executed, it gets very gruesome and descriptive.

This may or may not scare you, but I was thoroughly chilled after reading Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood." Read the book first, then watch the film.

'It' by Stephen King, but I was about 13 years old. If you don't like clowns or monsters, it's a good scarey book.

"Helter Skelter" by Vincent Bugliosi. Because it was true! [about the the Manson Murders]

'It' and 'Pet Semetary' by Stephen King.

But maybe that was because I'd seen the movies when I was little and they both scared me shitless. So maybe the fear was a holdover or something.

The bible- it has such potential for real evil
