Brighton - even Hove!

I think the extended version of 'The Stand' by Stephen King as it was written so realistically about the breakdown of society after the escape of Captain Trips. Although the second half was shite.

Salem's Lot & Pet Sematary.

Gerald's Game had its moments too. Especially the scene with the broken glass

The Secret Of Crickley Hall by James Herbert has some brrrr moments too.

This also scared me, as did The Lair. Set very near to where I lived as a child, when I read them...

A Clockwork Orange. Actually it deeply disturbed me, rather than frightened me.

I liked the book, the film spooked me, but Jesus Christ the stage play took it to another level

Any huge hardback tomes that I can't put down. I read laying on my back and when you fall asleep and they smash you in the nose you wish you enjoyed comics more.

American Psycho. I had to read it for uni and it's possibly the most disgusting book I've ever read.

Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory was pretty disturbing, yet also funny.

When I was a child I was afraid of the Elves and the Shoemaker, creepy little elves crawling around your house whilst you're asleep

I loved The Woman in Black! Just the right amount of scary.

The REAL question is:

How many are scared shitless by a book but STILL continue to read it?...

I read that for pleasure a few years ago and I thought it was tame... to begin with.

I became cautious of any chapter titled Girl or The Girls. And I've NEVER forgotten the scene with the rat. The only novel I almost stopped reading out of disgust.

I loved the wasp factory, been pissing on my sacrifice poles ever since.

Can you believe they did it as a play at Leeds playhouse, wish I had gone to see how they portrayed it.

I loved it too, but it was very disturbing and stayed with me for days. A play sounds very intriguing. I can't imagine how they'd pull it off really.

I remember the Rats books. They were quite scary.

A book called Enoch scared me too, when I was a teenager.

Not particularly scary but I felt rather uncomfortable reading Dead Boys by Richard Calder. I still shudder at the thought of being slink-riven and I don't even have a foof!

They made a film of it but the book was far better

Loved Rats, Lair and Domain! I went through a phase of devouring James Herbert books and was surprised by the Magic Cottage and Fluke, nice changes of pace

Scary books...maybe the Necroscope and Vampire World books by Brian Lumley. Very good and a brilliant twist on vampires

Same here....fluke was about the reincarnated dog....but the book had far more humour in it then the film
