A cop preventing me from entering the New York public library because muh corona, this was just last month and Im vaxxed and wearing a mask

What are some books that are actually scary?

The only book i have read so far that really made me feel uneasy was Stephen Kings IT.

>AM can generate gigantic birds
>AM can turn Benny into a big dick monkey man and blobify Ted
>AM can mutilate Ellen and repair her in a whim
>AM can keep the humans in a state of constant starvation for months on end
>AM can render humans immortal
*humans kill each other"
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT DO THATTTTT!!! AM CAN'T BRING PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE
fucking really?

The book was to emphasize the importance of a persons's duty to society. the book did not portray a militaristic society, but a liberal one during wartime, with the rules of citizenship changed to resemble something more like south korea or switzerland, but even more open as to how one renders civil service. The book is neither a cautionary tale or an advocacy, it's a coming of age tale that's been poisoned by a terrible film adaptation.
