Not for being the goriest or the "spookiest" as in jumps out and get you, "Frankenstein" really is a great novel. Particularly, if you consider how long ago it was written and how they had no clue of anatomy as we now know it.
It's very well written and a fascination story -- not like the movies they made from it. I didn't read it in school, so I've probably missed a lot of the stuff a teacher would point out as sub-context but just for enjoyment and being impressed by the story...let alone making you think. It's "Frankenstein" by Shelley.
I found this and it might really help with all of that sub-context I missed!

"IT," by way of Stephen King, is not basically the suitable horror e book i have ever examine, yet also the scariest. It has each little thing, from each style of horror, to each style of...nicely, analysis on life, on adolescence and growing to be up. it really is and likely continually sticks out because the suitable e book I honestly have ever examine. the first time I examine it, i could not examine some thing else for fairly a lot 2 months it become so good, and is a few of King's suitable writing. And, honorable mentions: i'm Legend, by way of Richard Matheson Ghost tale, by way of Peter Straub The Stand, by way of Stephen King Hell homestead, by way of Richard Matheson How about the suitable one you have ever examine, in case you experience like answering your human being question? haha! Cheers!

It was DEFINITELY "The Haunting of Toby Jugg" by Dennis Wheatley.
I'm not a great fan of horror stories, and I'm not afraid of spiders, but this book about a wheelchair-bound victim and a grossly over-sized spider scared the bejasus out of me.
Read it, IF YOU DARE!

Everything from Tess Gerritsen.
Not really horror, but still not recommended before bed
