I'm looking for a book that will genuinely scare me, since many films these days fail to do so. Books that have kept you awake /lit/. Let's hear them.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 14 09:01:51 2013 No.3657152 are hp lovecraft or william hope hodgson actually scary?

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 14 09:07:51 2013 No.3657158 >>3657156 I've read every single first generation Goosebumps, and the 2000 series. Awesome but a bit old for those now though.

I used to read this book as a kid; I always thought it was great -- despite the poor review someone gave it.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 14 13:58:52 2013 No.3657961 I thought "The Amityville Horror: A True Story" was pretty scary, specially when I read those parts with the eyes in the dark and outside of the window in the house.
