I would suggest;1st to Die by James Patterson. It's about a female detective looking for a killer who kills couples on there honeymoon, then does sexual freaky stuff with the dead bride.

1) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- Hunter S. Thompson
2) A Clockwork Orange- Anthony Burgess
3) American Psycho- (can't remember the authors name but its damn scary, probably the scariest book i have ever read)
4) Dante's Inferno- Dante (nothing scarier than multiple layers of Hell)
5) In Cold Blood- Truman Capote
most of these are drug books, but they're definitely creepy.
if you like unreliable narrators (which always seem creepy to me) try:
1) The F*ck Up - can't remember the author
2) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest- Ken Kinsey
3) The Stranger - can't remember the author
4) Catcher in the Rye- JD Salinger
5) Anything by Flannery O'Connor (mostly short stories)
6) New York Trilogy by Paul Auster- personal fave, about a guy going nuts trying to help a guy who has been locked away in a closet most of his life
happy reading

A Dirty Job: A Novel by Christopher Moore
It's sort of like the movie The Santa Clause, only the guy sort of becomes Death. Very cool. Much cooler than I just made it sound.

The Hot Blood Series is good--I think there are ten total. Their catch phrase is: "Tales of Erotic Horror".
Basically each book is a collection of short stories.

Clive Barker is a great writer in the horror/fantasy irony genre'.
A fave of mine is "Waiting Period" by Hubert Selby - more of the psychotic vein - amazing!

it somewhat is not any longer a e book yet a action picture: 13. I enjoyed it in spite of the shown fact that it became so damn tousled. it somewhat is not any longer a e book the two, yet my pal wrote a narrative some female who have been given possesed, then she went around seducing adult men and killing human beings.
