The Exorcist. Far more scary than the movie, but I couldn't put it down. I read it when I was about 16- if my Mom ever knew, she would've killed me. She had it on her bookshelf in the basement and it kept calling my name....

"Salem's Lot" was genuinely scary.

"It" was scary only in the sense that I was afraid I wouldn't finish it

Only the Bible. And then only because I was initially so very young and the person teaching me made it seem very frightening. (The old scare them into submission thing.)

I have not read a book that scared me. I have read some about serial killers that was pretty gross, but not scary.

I went on a summer of terror one time and read about ten King books, The Shining was the scariest, then Cujo, and Salem's Lot.

I thought Cujo was scary. It was enough Stephen King for me.

My sister, an avid Stephen King reader, said the Pet Cemetary took her 3 tries to get through because it was so scary.

1984, to me that is a terrifying consept, being "broken" It's not actually the idea of torture that is scary to me, it's the idea of being broken, the way he was with the mice.

It was a James Patterson book with the character Alex Cross. I don't remember the name of it but the first chapter or two dealt with a bank robbery...

I looked it up, the book was Roses are Red...

Oh yeah, I read Helter Skelter when I was in 6th or 7th grade and thought for sure that Charles Manson was going to get out of prison and come right for me!!

Interesting. The Bible is not a book that scared me to death. Instead, it scared me to life.
