SCAREDY CAT discussion

what is the best / scariest book you've read where evil wins against the hero?

The Monkey Toy

Tortures Of The Damned by Hunter Shea.

The ending literally made me say WHAT THE HELL!!!! :)

Sam

Scared the crap out of me!

I started reading Iain Rob Wright back in 2011 when he published The Final Winter. I ADORED that book, and have read every single one since. I actually got him to send me an autographed copy all the way from overseas :D He's an AWESOME guy (and author).

Love his books and I'm still working my way thru them.

well. I think that's the next book I'll read then. sounds great

Make sure to check out The Final Winter!

wow, "sam" was great, what a gum book!!!

fun....

Pet Sematary is a great "evil wins" book in my humble opinion. I mean the Creed family was completely destroyed pretty much.

The Stand was a good 'evil wins' book. Although the ppl defeat Randall Flagg in the end there is always the idea that he will return in the future.
So I don't know if you would actually call this book an 'EVIL WINS' book or not.

The Stand is an awesome book!

I wouldn't consider the stand to be an evil wins book, however Rosemary's Baby is definitely an evil wins

Oh yea, I forgot about Rosemary's Baby.

I'll have to add Apparition, by Michaelbrent Collings

A Good and Happy Child - subtle but jolting nonetheless

If the film is any indication, No Country for Old Men looks like a great candidate. It's on my list to read!

I don't know that it's the scariest story I've ever read, but it is pretty creepy and the ending throws in hell of a dark twist!
