Is there any book which horrified you?

not one to this time... im still trying to find one that would really scare me.. haha stephen king books are not so scary to me and i have not tried other authors... im off to my shelf and see one thriller read soon.

William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist was what I would call horrifying. If you've seen the movie, you can imagine how nasty the book is. What William Friedkin directed in 1973 was but a shadow of the horror on the pages of the novel that inspired it.

No books that effected my sleep, but some that have scared me a whole lot. There was a book about evil twins. It was true accounts of murderous twins, and that book freaked me out.

"Somebody Come and Play" by Clare McNally (1987). It's about 4 little girls (not related) who live on a lake with a haunted house close by. I was about 14 when I read it the first time, and a few times since, and I always have trouble falling asleep. I couldn't sleep when I was reading "Intensity" by Dean Koontz, but that was because I couldn't stop. I had this overwelming feeling that I couldn't leave "Chyna" alone to deal with the psycho. I had to hurry up and get her through it. It was intense (hence the name)!!!

When I was reading misery, by stephen king, there was one part I read right before i went to sleep, that made me actually stay up for a while. A young cop had just been killed graphically, and the main character was locked in a basement. He had a waking nightmare that the young cops body crawled down the basement stairs and attacked him. ugh! i hated it

Not really horrified but I'm a bit shocked to The Da Vinci Code. That book gave me goosebumps. It's really shocking to hear those negative issues about Jesus Christ that I know most of us are disagreeing with. But honestly, I'm pretty impressed to what Dan Brown (writer of the book) did. He gave us a big challenge that somehow, tested our faith in God. - Ron Reyes www.ronreyes.co.nr

ya once i have read abook about reall gosts , tht day i really got frightened

William Burroughs's 'The Naked Lunch'. I never even finished it. I just found it horrible - it's the only book that actually made me feel ill whilst reading it. Quite why I don't know. It didn't frighten me - it just disgusted me. I feel slightly dirty even talking about it!

Cant remember any book that horrified me so much that i couldnt get proper sleep. I m quite a sleeper :)) But yes returning to the books... Now came to my mide when i have read the short story by Stephen King "The monkey" about alive monkey-toy who always returned no matter how deep u bury it. So when i went to bed , at first i was scared a bit. Was imagining that crazy monkey is climbing into my room through the window, but later i didnt even notice, how felt alseep. It was wired , because I read King's books a lot, but only this short story scared me:)))
