Flowers in the Attic-- V.C. Andrews... when brotherly-sisterly love goes too far, because four kids are locked in a attic by their evil grandmother. It is a popular book that many have read, but it is very strange...
I'm scared by Stephen King novels too! He writes books so quick... it's like he has some formula...
Have a good scare!

I'd have to agree with your statement about Steven King novels! The Tommyknockers has be in the the top five for a scary read. Dean Koontz has a few too.

When I was 17 I read the book about the Amytyville house that was haunted. I began having nightmares, I was afraid to sleep upstairs alone and would sneak down and sleep in my parents floor. I finally decided to burn the stupid book midway through without finishing it. Only then did the fear and nightmares go away. I really don't condone book burning. But I paid for that book and by God it was definately going to be destroyed.

Helter Skelter - about the Manson gang and the Tate/Labianca murders...scared me so bad, I would put it in a drawer before going to bed, so the boogeys would not get me while I was asleep.
The Shining

The Amityville Horror and The Exorcist both scared me as a teenager. I stayed up all night reading TAH because I was too afraid to stop reading.

I read the Amityville Horror when I was about 15 and it scared the bejesus out of me! Not the story itself so much as the assertion that it was based on a TRUE story. That scared me!
Truth scares me FAR more than any fiction.

I still refuse to walk over grates in the sidewalk.
Wasn't the clown's name Pennywise?
