sk and uber horror

[irisahart]

i absolutely love all of sk's books. even the boring ones. but i wonder if sk will put a book out there that will scare the living $#@! out of me. i love scary movies but totally love reading a book that makes me scared to open the fridge or do the laundry! does anyone know which book could do that to me?

Hi,

Have you read Pet Semetary or Salem's Lot?

Long days and pleasant nights

[OhmyGod!]

It totally depends on what you think is scary! Do you go for the gore? Or the psychological horrors? I think 'the girl who loved tom gordon' is very very scary. But many people disagree with me.
Maybe you should go for IT...that one is scary in many ways.

i have not read them but have seen the movies. thank you for the idea!

Well that all depends on what you've already read. Have you tried Cell, Insomnia, or It yet?

To me, nothing is scarrier then IT.

This is a very true statement. I didn't find The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon scary at all but obviously some people did. It's subjective as to what an individual will like or not like.

As for me, I agree with Srbo, IT gave me the creeps.

Definitely IT, the movie ending didn't do the book justice IMO.

Older SK would have to be "It", Newer SK would have to be "The Black House". "The Black House" was the only SK book I read that I had the most incredible, visual nightmare. However, if you read it, you must read "The Talisman" first. The two books go together, following the main character from childhood to adulthood. These are definately SK must reads!!!

Yes, Pet Semetary and The Shining are two of the scariest I've read.

(I havn't yet completed IT).
