The scariest book I ever read was The Exorcist. I thought The Amittyville Horror would scare me, but it actually didn't. It was a good read, though.

Nothing really scared me but John Saul's "Suffer the Children" was pretty disturbing.

newspapers scare me ..

i can be entertained by a horror novel if written well (something that in itself is rarer than 7 cent coin) but scared .... not a chance.

I've not read a book in years something like 20 odd years... I'm not a book worm and I get easily distracted, even though for some weird reason, I've got a full bookshelf of stuff I intended to read over the years.

but I do remember one book, with a particular scene in it that freaked me out, must have been 10 or 11 years old, it was called Inseminoid, about aliens and a woman was raped by one, she then went on a murder spree around a space ship, thats all I can really remember of it.

A film was made, but I've not seen it.

Hell House by Richard Matheson - pity they screwed up the movie so badly!

I'm gonna' get ripped on for this...but I've read a good majority of Stephen King's works, and the novel "Dreamcatcher" really creeped me out. Now, before the insults begin, keep in mind that I didn't think the movie was scary at all whatsoever, so you can only imput on this if you've read the book, because it's a lot scarier than the movie. It just kinda gave me the creeps.

Hey Urge, what's "The Dune" about?

I did read 2 books that had a weird effect when i was reading them though ..

Dune made me look at water differently ..

And there was a Laurence Saunders book that was futuristic .. (rare for him) and it made me hyper aware of something while i was reading it - and i cant remember what it was now.

Hows that for some valuable info ! :)

Yah, is Dune a book? Or an author or what...the one that made you look at water differently.
