One of the scariest is 'The Shining' by Stephen King. The isolated setting of the Overlook Hotel and the slow descent into madness of the main character, Jack Torrance, is truly terrifying. Another is 'It' also by King. The shape - shifting, child - murdering clown, Pennywise, preys on the fears of both children and adults in the town of Derry. 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty is also extremely scary. The possession of a young girl and the attempts to exorcise the demon are bone - chilling.
Well, 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King is very scary. It plays on our fears of death and the unknown. The idea that a burial ground can bring the dead back in a wrong and evil way is disturbing. Then there's 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson. The psychological horror in this book, with the house seeming to have a mind of its own and driving the characters to the brink of insanity, is what makes it so frightening.
A really scary fiction book is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. The extreme violence and the cold - blooded nature of the main character, Patrick Bateman, is quite horrifying. It makes you question the darkness that can lurk within a seemingly normal person. Also, 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski is creepy. The non - linear narrative and the idea of a house that is bigger on the inside than it should be, along with strange noises and events, is enough to give you the chills.
