Books that scared or creeped you out

I think the reason it's left open is because it's a debatable topic, whether high-materialism and consumerism desensitizes people towards each other; even though the answer is obvious (as the thesis of the book is that it does) the doubt clears consumerism of any wrong-doing.

The movie doesn't do as good of a job as satire, but is still a great and hilarious watch. The book is drier and more cerebral, but even more funny, and goes much deeper.

 

Thanks everyone for the replies. :2thumbsup: I forgot i made this thread... :ssmokeit:lol.

 

Helter Skelter

 

'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James. Both interpretations!

 

- it's a short story, but . . .
The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges
kind of scared me and messed with my head for a while - in cognitive dissonance kind of way. I think it's the only work of fiction that I've actually had reoccuring nightmares about.

 

The Reality Dysfunction and the other Night's Dawn books by Peter F. Hamilton.

 

How can no one mention...
Scary stories to tell in the dark!?


Scared the shit out of me as a kid!

 

I agree, even now the pictures they had in the book creep me out.

 

Endurance by Jack Kilborn scared me. I used to stay in hotels a lot and always wondered if I was really safe.

 

Afraid - Jack Kilborn was pretty twisted haha along with his others. Anything Strephen King is usually pretty good lol
