Anything by Bentley Little. I would also suggest Richard Laymon. John Saul is good, but not AS creepy. |

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is one of the scariest things I've ever read. My review: http://yourehistory.wordpress.com/2007/09/09/historical-horror-fiction-the-turn-of-the-screw/ |

I agree with Aimee. Hell House is a goody for this time of year. Also for plain old
goodbumps, Dean Koontz's Phantoms is a keep all the lights on read.
Have fun picking and reading.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is very frightening, and the movie, The Haunting, is based on this story, and is one of the most terrifying movies I have ever seen. This is the black & white movie with Julie Harris and Claire Bloom. Even though I've watched it countless times, it still gives me the shivers. Don't even bother with the remake with Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It is awful!!! Vicki C. |

I just finished The Historian by Kostova. The sense of pure evil is phenomenal and her characters catch your loyalty. I found it surprisingly well written for the genre. |

If you want a true story, check out Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi- the true story of the Manson murders. My dad always said it's the scariest book he's ever read. |
