"The Exorcist" by William Peter Blatty. I was scared even before seeing the movie.

I used to read a lot of Clive Barker books. They were pretty good. |

Hannibal by Thomas Harris
This book wasn't necessarily "scary", but while reading, I had to put the book down numerous times because I was scaring myself. This book is written from Hannibal's perspective, and there are many times that I started to see where he was coming from and agree with his philosophy... that's when I had to put the book down and do something else for a while. It was "scary" because of how it leads you to agree with such horrible things at times. I just finished reading Stephen King's new book, Cell It wasn't really scary, but it does make you not want to talk on your cell phone for a while after reading it... just in case. |

only book I ever read that gave me a nightmare was It. Though I thought the monster at the end was a lame choice

I don't know if it's scary, but the one I remember being so squicked out I had to throw the book into the corner, was Gerald's Game. The 'degloving' scene.
Most paranoid immediacy I've experienced while reading. 1984, when Winston and the girl are captured.
