Speaking of children's books... well, this is gonna sound like I'm making it up, but:

There's a very creepy picture book with no words that I think is called The Gray Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher.

Song Of Kali by Dan Simmons

House of Leaves was not scary. It was frustrating and made me tense. 10 pages of backwards/upside footnotes (margin notes) on types of structures and books relating to architecture is not scary...

Now that part just pissed me off, especially as I was reading by candlelight due to the powerline to my house snapping.

I was once staying with some family friends in a house in Mexico one summer. My friend Quint read Relic ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relic_(novel) ) and apparently found it so frightening that he had to stay up for three hours watching Teletubbies after reading it to clear his conscience.

Seriously? That book is on my to-read list!

Thanks anon.
