Hi Everyone,
I'm getting down to my last few - wondering what I'm going to read for "a book that scares me." What is the scariest book you ever read?

Paula Lyle | 19 comments I just ordered a graphic novel that is supposed to be creepy. So far, the few things I've tried haven't gotten to me. Maybe if I get desperate I'll try an Ann Coulter book. :)

Scariest book of my life - Salem's Lot by Stephen King. That creeped me out big time, many years ago,

Paula, I think that's one of the few Stephen Kings I never read - at least the classic ones, I haven't read very many of his newer ones.

I think the one that creeped me out the most was Helter Skelter. Read it in college. I was fine thinking, oh they're all in jail now. Then got to the part where it told about all the family members who are still out and about. Freaked me out!

For a scared about real life stuff book, "Wrapped in the Flag" was terrifying in a whole different way!

Okay the book I am reading now is pretty scary - might have accidentally found it. Follow You Home. Will see as it continues. So far, this kind of story is definitely the reason My group is going on a Rick Steves tour and NOT backpacking through Europe staying in hostels.
