*Actually* scary horror recs?

I don’t know if this is a me problem or if I haven’t read the right books but… I haven’t been ‘scared’ by a book.

I’ve read some disturbing and unsettling things, but it just doesn’t work for me? I’ve always been more terrified watching a movie than reading a book. And I’m a massive scaredy cat.

Anyway – and I hope I regret this – please give me some books that are utterly and viscerally terrifying.

kinda reposted this because I messed up first time around sorry
