What writing sincerely scares you, gives you the chills, etc.? I want to be creeped out after reading something then attempting to fall asleep in the dark, and I'm not too acquainted with the best stuff in this genre, so I was wondering if you have any recommendations? Something that isn't like a Stephen King novel off some top 10 list?

Thomas Ligotti. Short but sweet stories, and great style

How about nonfiction body horror?

There's audio and video adaptations in there, recommend Persistence of Vision on page 2 of the audio.com profile. My short story Vantablack was also featured in Tales 2 and was well received, there's a narration of that as well

Hate Factory. Maybe not scary, but disturbing. Short read.
