I haven’t read many horror/scary stories, but almost none really scared me. The closest I got was when reading The Color out of Space and Whisperer in the Dark by H.P. Lovecraft, but then again I was reading them at 2 am. I’m looking for something that would scare me in the daylight. Also – not looking for a book that is just disturbing, I’m looking for scares.
Other things that didn’t scare me, despite having them recommended as scary: the rest of H. P. Lovecraft’s work, The Exorcist, Rebecca, The Only Good Indians, My Heart is a Chainsaw, Bunny, The Haunting of Hill House, Dracula, Edgar Allan Poe, The Silence of the Lambs, Rosemary’s Baby.
