Question. Which horrors novels, if any, have actually scared you while reading?

If you could give me your top 3 in terms of actually being scary I will happily go buy one of them.

The Terror by Dan Simmons

I think about that book a lot, and how truly scary it is.

Honorable mentions for one’s I wouldn’t want to read again but loved are Tender is The Flesh, and The Ruins (which was in this post). Without spoilers, there are some pretty good body horror scenes that really messed with me.

Well shit, I already like Dan Simmons after reading his Hyperion novels.

I should give that a shot
