'Everyone is talking about It right now, but I actually think this is one of his scariest books. Get it from Amazon Canada for $24.40 (paperback). The fact that its main villain is a house, the place where you're supposed to feel safest, made it terrifying for me to read in bed, second-guessing every sound and shadow.' - veronical4e390d725

The only book that doesn't apply to that is House of Leaves. 'I love horror, be it movies or literature, but not much actually scares me.
