The Girls He Adored by Jonathan Nasaw(I think?) was a very scary read. Kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.

Salems lot and H.P Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness".

Horror story compilations from the 60' and 70's that I used to read when I was a kid, about 10 years old. Books with worms crawling out of the eye sockets of skulls and the like.

When I was in elementary school the library always donated books to the local classes on holidays. One of the Halloween books was a collection of rhymes that clearly no-one bothered to read before they sent it over, because it was full of poems about goblins and man who kill children, with lines like "he breaks their bones, and cracks their backs, and pullls their tounges apart." Scared the piss out of me. And the pictures? *shudders* Not child-friendly reading material.

I never read another horror story after The Shining. I thought about it for weeks afterwards.

False Memory by Koontz scared me just at the thought that people could mess with your mind so horribly. The only other book that really got me were two short stories from Stephen King's Night Shift, Jerusalem's Lot and The Boogeyman. Nightshade by John Saul was perrty creepy too!
