Simply stated, it’s about a house that’s bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, whole hallways and rooms appearing in the night. I may be a little biased with this one, given that I wrote a book about the book, but after asking literary Twitter about the scariest reads, this book consistently popped up as the one that left scars, frightening countless readers for decades. The following books exist as vessels of terror, and I present them to you unabashedly. They keep you distracted during the workday, mumbling warnings to your friends… empathetically not wanting to recommend the book while simultaneously wanting them to share in your terror just so you don’t have to be alone with it. But let’s get one question out of the way: You want true terror, right? I’m not talking a little chill or a tiny knot in your throat I’m talking books that leave such an impression on you, they keep you up at night. But I’m here to give you a very different look at what will leave a mark. Readers have been asking for fresh, new scares across lists, conversations, Twitter threads, and you may think this list is yet another in the sea of lists. Tis the season to scare yourself shitless.
