@Tammie The Door from Heaven (can’t remember the actual title) was one of the scariest books I’ve ever read. It’s excellent!

Stephen King’s son blows him out of the water. Try Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. John Saul is hit or miss but he has some good scary stuff.

Yes! Joe Hill is way better. Nos4a2 is good too.

@Kallen It is! HSB though is one of the few books that legitimately messed with me. I’m a huge horror fan so very little fazes me .. except that one. 😛

@Danyal I agree, it scared me for sure. But I’m a baby, so honestly that’s not saying much.
I wasn’t as much of a fan of the Fireman

Should check out Susan May. I’ve only read “Best Seller” so far. But I’ve read the synopses of her other books
