Re: Read anything really scary ??

Hmm...I have that book...why can't I remember reading that story?

*Flicks through book*

Oh...oh, yeah, vague memories coming back to me now...Methinks I might need to give Night Shift another perusal some day...

I can't say I've read anything that has particularly scared me, but The Shining certainly brought out the goosebumps. A very eerie book, that one. And it was the smaller moments that caused it...the sound of running feet and something trying to turn the door handle in room 217, or the rather sinister hose of the fire extinguisher...

Re: Read anything really scary ??

If you are looking for a nice long read with some great creepy parts, then I would suggest Stephen King's "It". If you want short stories, definitely go with Lovecraft. Ramsey Campbell is great too as well as Robert Bloch who each contributed to Lovecraft's mythos. I hear tell that Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, Robert Aickman, M.R. James, Oliver Onions, and Ambrose Bierce are all great too, I personally haven't had the chance to read them yet but they are definitely on my list of authors to read.
