I generally don't read horror novels, but the one I do like is really old--Cujo by Stephan King. I have an overactive imagination to begin with so my mind would start to race ahead of the story and I'd get to the point where I'd dread turning the page. I like the psychological horror novels best, but it's very late at night and I can't think of a single one.

"The Amityville Horror" by Jay Anson is pretty much the scariest book I've ever read.
Some other really creepy ones are:
Stephen King's "Pet Semetary" & "'Salem's Lot" (I also liked "Cell," but I know a lot of people that didn't)
Dean Koontz's "Phantoms" & "Watchers" (although "Watchers" isn't as much scary as it is just a really good book; "Strangers" is pretty good, too)
Peter Straub's "Ghost Story" & "Floating Dragon"
John Saul's "Suffer the Children" & "Black Creek Crossing"
F. Paul Wilson's "Midnight Mass" & "The Keep"
Clive Barker's "The Books of Blood" (but these are short stories, so if you're looking for a novel, read his "The Damnation Game;" it's decent, anyway)
Ramsey Campbell's "The Hungry Moon"
Robert McCammon's "Swan Song" (Again, not so much scary, but an awesome read; if you liked Stephen King's "The Stand" you'll love "Swan Song")

Exquisite Corpse", by poppy Z Brite. Most of her novels are pretty good for a horror section

The original Dracula, by Bram Stoker. A chilling classic.

A fable for all ages by Clive Barker. It's called, " The Thief of Allways." It is quite scary and great for all ages.

The Bible. I say this because if we read it as a book it seems to condemn us. If we understand it however it becomes a love story. Mist
