The Invisible Man

Yes, the Ralph Ellison book is not exactly a science fiction/horror story, though from what I know of it, the main character's "invisibility" finally drives him into a sort of craziness, too.

@JohnRoberts Yes. The narrator's invisibility was a euphemism for how his true self was submerged beneath all the personalities he adopted to adapt to the situations he found himself in.

@DWDavis You know Ralph Ellison was African American and the "Invisible Man" is a commentary on the plight of African American men back whenever Ellison wrote it.

I just finished it a few days ago and I loved it. To me it really was not a horror story. It was a family story and one member looking to belong somewhere even though he was misunderstood. I plan on reading Bram Stoker's Dracula as well as The Invisible Man and I have seen a few movies dealing with Invisible Man. I was younger but they were freaky.

@marky7 I've not read the book myself, but saw a made for TV miniseries that purported to follow the book closely. I got the same impression from that movie version, that is was less a horror story than a story of misunderstanding and intolerance.

@DWDavis I read a version of 'The Invisible Man when I was younger and now that I know a few more facts behind the book I am looking forward to reading it again.
