October 23rd: What are some of the scariest books you have ever read?
To be honest...check last week's post. I have read like 2 that was a bit scary that I remember. At least Goodreads tells me so.
But then again, this Katie Ruggle book I read a few weeks ago was scary. It was a romance, but there was someone looking into a window at a time and well it gave me chills. It does not have to be a scary book to be scary. It can be a romantic suspense and it can still be creepy. Yes creepy is scarier than scary at times.
October is so not my month. I need more scary! ...nah, I do not need more scary. I will stick to romance.

great comment Blodeuedd it really doesn't have to be a "scary" book to scare the beejezus out of you
ReplyDeleteAnything can be scary :)
DeleteI'm with you!
ReplyDeleteI love scary things and I started out reading horror but haven't in soooo long so I haven't been able to do TMST this month either lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
SO not my month :)
DeleteI love scary books especially this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI had to dnf my one and only :/
DeleteI read Parasite by Mira Grant and Nos4A2 by Joe Hill recently. Those are pretty scary.
ReplyDeleteRight, I read Hill too! Ooops, but that was ages ago
DeleteWhen I was younger I read The Silence of the Lambs and had to leave a light on for a while after that.
ReplyDeleteUgh yes
DeleteOh yes, having someone stare into your window is totally creepy.
ReplyDeleteSO creepy
DeleteI agree with you, creepy is scarier!
ReplyDeleteIt so is
DeleteI prefer romance to scary too, romantic suspense is about all the chills I need. Karen Rose writes them and they are quite chilling so I will go no further!
ReplyDeletei hve not tried her, but I really should then
DeleteI don't read the truly scary books, but I agree that a writer can build up suspense so that I'm scared or get chills quite easily.
ReplyDeleteShe did it so well
DeleteScary books...hmm. Not much truly scares me, but I do love atmospheric books where I get to be creeped out!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Yes a good atmosphere can do wonders
DeleteI honestly think scary stories are better as movies or short stories. Long novels are boring.
ReplyDeleteLong is not that scary no
DeleteI love scary. I've been watching horror movies since I was like 10. Then I started reading Stephen King at like 13. I do go in phases where I read/watch more and then it falls off for a while.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
I guess if I do not love them now I never will.
DeleteI need to try more scary ones but most aren't actually scary haha
ReplyDeleteme too
DeleteI'm a bit behind... but wasn't this last week's topic? I see you reference it!
ReplyDeleteThey were pretty similar!
