Let Me In, by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Dani by angelique Jordonna
Helter Skelter
I haven’t read a creepy book for years but i do remember being creeped out by The Rats by James Herbert when I was a teenager.
I don’t read a lot of creepy books so the weirdest one for me would have to be The Uninvited by Tim Wynne-Jones. I read it for a book report in highschool.
I read IT by Stephen King years ago and it scared the bejeebers out of me… The movie just does not compare
Helter Skelter
Pet Cemetery…When I read Pet Cemetery, I quit reading Stephen King for many years…I’m more an old school King fan…Cujo, Dead Zone, The Shining, Firestarter, The Stand, etc…
The Voice of the Night, by Dean Koontz.
Helter Skelter, I’ll Be Gone on the Dark
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
I read in cold blood when I was a15yr old babysitting big mistake…when parents came home I was sitting in chair with a bat in my hand…lol
Yeah, I was about 16 and we lived way back in the woods with no nearby neighbors. I’d lay awake at night trying to figure out how I’d get out of the house if I heard something; only problem there was I was terrified of going outside after dark even before I read the book…
The witches by Roald Dahl that book scared the sh*t out of me when I was 9.
Helter Skelter
So far the creepiest book I’m reading right now is called In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods, by Matt Bell. I think it’s one of those acquired taste books. You’ll either be mesmerized by it, or you’ll think it’s a random clusterf*** of terrible writing. Lots of mixed reviews on goodreads, by I’m personally fascinated by it.
Helter Skelter. When I read this as a kid it freaked me out so much that at least night I slept with a knife under my pillow in fear that the Manson family might bust into the house.
That’s also in my TBR. I’ve always been fascinated with stuff like that
@Amy It begins compelling but it drags towards the end. I used to read a lot of true crime books but it got depressing to see how a man (and the majority of these lunatics are male) can so little regard for another human so they can satisfy their own psychopathic needs.
I want to read Helter skelter. But it’s been hard to find
The shoemaker
Daughters Unto Devils by Amy Lukavics. Some of the imagery in this is still with me and it has been 3 years since I have read it.
Pet Cemetery
Helter Skelter and The Exorcist, but more than any other book, I was terrified by We Need to Talk About Kevin.
I tried We Need to Talk About Kevin but I couldn’t get thru the 1st chapter. I might give it another go
Books of Blood but Clive Barker
Yes he can be a creepie writer
Ruins by Scott Smith
Me too. I would have run down that hill and let them shoot me.
@Liz right??
Devil in the white city
Erik Larson
I agree!
Loved Devil in the White City. But… if you have Netflix, there is a short documentary-type thing showing what Holmes did to make some of those women ‘disappear’. I think the title is something like, “The First Serial Killer in America”. It IS creepy.
The Serial Killer Encyclopedia. I didn’t even make it half way through. I had to return it, it was creeping me out so bad.
For me it was Jack the Ripper’s Confessions it was so weird and too much details that i didn’t finished it.
The Bad Place – Dean Koontz was full of real creep factor for me.
Sleeping beauties van King
Helter skelter definitely, probably because it was true.
I felt the same thing when I read The House of Evil
@Megan , I’ll check that one out thanks. Maybe it will out creep Helter Skelter
I read this a long time ago and I don’t remember a lot of it but I remember it was really creepy!
The creepiest book I ever read was “The Caller” by Chris Carter.
The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon. I couldn’t read it right before bed!
Phantom’s by Dean R. Kootz
Had to sleep with my light on, scared the bejes’us out of me.
Lolita. The under age girl aspect made me very cringy.
