We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson did such a great job of building a creepy, unsettling atmosphere. I loved it!
I would have to
Heartlessby T. Patrick Phelps, you have to read it to find out why but I read it in October and loved it give it five stars. reading the 2nd book right now which is
Those of the Margin
This is more twisted and fucked up than "scary" but it is definitely one to check out if you like unique and twisted books.
I can't say I've found a book lately that has truly creeped me out. I know a lot of people were talking about Bird Box this year, but I found myself really annoyed with it. It was like reading an M. Night Shyamalan movie.
I just finished Slade House, which I found pretty creepy. It's the first book I've read by David Mitchell, and I think it was a good introduction. I've heard people say Slade House was too short, but I think adding onto it would have taken away the sense of urgency the book needed to make it truly creep the reader out.
