I also recommend 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King. In this book, there's a pet cemetery near a family's new home. When a family member's pet dies, they bury it in the cemetery, but it comes back in a very wrong and scary way. The idea of things coming back not as they were is really frightening.
Sure. 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley is a classic that's quite scary. The concept of creating life and then dealing with the consequences is really unnerving. The Monster is a symbol of our fears about science gone wrong.

Sure. One of the scariest might be 'The Tell - Tale Heart' if it's in there. It has this narrator who is driven mad by the old man's vulture - like eye and the slow build - up of his descent into madness and the act of murder is truly chilling.
Sure. 'Coraline' is a great but scary book for kids. It's about a girl who discovers an alternate world through a small door in her new home. This other world seems wonderful at first but soon turns out to be full of danger and creepy characters like the Other Mother with button eyes. It plays on the fear of the unknown and the idea of being trapped in a false, menacing world.
If you like horror, suspense, and other types of novels, I recommend "Village Mysteries Record" and "Yin Yang Recipe" to you. The plots of the two books were very strange and bizarre. The storyline was unique and very consistent with the style of horror and suspense novels. I hope you like my recommendation.
Sure. 'The Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris is a great choice. Hannibal Lecter is one of the most iconic and terrifying villains in fiction. His intelligence and his penchant for cannibalism are truly scary. Another good one is 'Rosemary's Baby' by Ira Levin. The slow realization by Rosemary that something is very wrong with her pregnancy and that she may be carrying the devil's child is extremely unsettling.

He would search for ancient tombs, visit famous mountains, worship Taoist temples, explore temples, enter the netherworld, the War Demon Realm, and the Five Realms…
If you want to experience a very scary ghost story, I personally recommend the two novels,"You're in the Other World's Night of a Hundred Ghosts" and "The Killer God's Eternal Life." They are all mystery and mystery novels. The plot is very thrilling and can bring you a real horror experience. If you like fantasy-mystery fantasy novels, you can also try "The Cat Captures the Demon", which also has some creepy plots. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
For kids, 'The Gruffalo' can be a bit scary in a fun way. The Gruffalo is a big, scary - looking creature that the mouse has to outwit. 'Room on the Broom' also has some spooky elements with the witch and the various animals facing danger. And 'The Little Red Riding Hood' can be scary with the big bad wolf lurking in the forest.
One of the scariest horror stories is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is driven mad by the old man's 'vulture - like' eye and eventually kills him. The guilt then drives the narrator to insanity as he imagines he can still hear the old man's heart beating.
