What is the scariest book you've ever read?

The Healthcare Bill

For me, I'd have to say the Bible is hands down the scariest book out there.

Do you thing they have it on Recorded Books?

What is the genre? Is it common enough to pick up at Barnes and Noble?

I'd look it up but don't want to stumble into any plot descriptions.

Riddley Walker is officially Sci-fi, It is by Russell Hoban. I am sure you could find it at a Barnes and Noble. It's about this...Just kidding...

I won't say anything more.

They do, I've down loaded one.

Now Jesus and the RIAA have been blowing up my phone trying to sue me though.

I read this in my Twenties...Stephen R. Donaldson. Fantasy novel...
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever has some parts that are psychologically SCARY.
To be transported into a world you don't believe...
There are some passages.. that are so descriptive that you can feel the fear.

Now that sounds VERY interesting.

Christine.. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the abomination of the movie.. More inner turmoil type stuff than the ghastly fx's that Crapenter tried..

Back in 1999 a buddy of mine from L.A. showed me the home that the movie Christine was filmed from. It looked fairly spooky during the daylight 16 years after the movie was filmed. It was practically across the street from where they filmed The Lawnmower Man.



The scariest book I've ever read was probably Hannibal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_(novel)), the sequel to Silence of the Lambs that takes place 7 years later.

I red Hannibal and Red Dragon, but only saw the movie of Silence of the Lambs.

I forgot that The Taking by Dean Koontz did a good job of giving me the chills through a good portion of it. It went into interesting territory for Koontz I thought.

The Healthcare Bill

i haven't read it but I don't need to in order to know the end result will be my wallet being lighter and feeling like I just endured a stay at a prison camp.
