What is legitimately the scariest book you've ever read?

I'm looking for genuinely scary books. I've looked through the sticky recommendations and read some of them, but honestly what I've read has been shit. (No idea why The King in Yellow is recommended except as a historical curiosity. It is neither scary nor a good story.)

The closest I have come is "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream", but even then it wasn't really that scary. I recently finishes House of Leaves which was an ok experimental book but not scary at all.

I prefer this book, because in my normal state I would be screaming a lot to myself.

I'm autistically obsessed with I have no mouth and i must scream and Harlan Ellison, are there any similar authors and stories?

Hi /lit/

I don't read books at all but starting to think maybe I should. Anyway, I heard about this "I Have No Eyes and I Must Scream", sounded like a great story, but it's a short story. Me only interested in full length book. Can anyone recommend anything similar but full length?

Thanks ya'll
