Looking for a seriously terrifying book??
Hello (:
I am looking for a really terrifying book. I don't scare easily, so it has to be something that makes you want to lock the book away in a wardrobe or something. I'm not really into "normal" horror. And by "normal" I mean like a deranged killer with 4 eyes who carries a knife around. I much more prefer a ghost or unexplainable "thing" scaring the hell out of people. I love twists in a story. I was thinking about buying "The Lady in Black", I heard it's really scary? In addition to all my awkward preferences, I prefer a horror where not too much violence takes place, but people being tormented by a scary presence etc. Sorry for being so awkward, but I'm desperate for a scary book (: Thanks in advance! |

If you like things in the vein of Haunting of Hill House, I'd like to recommend my friend and colleague Gina Ranalli's book House of Fallen Trees:
