I'll second Connavar and JD here. A well written book and take you into places more frightening than any movie or game simply because the mind can conjure up so much more and understands your fears so very much better.

You read the words and they spiral inside you and turn the safe, warm room into a raft afloat in a sea surrounded by the most terrible things. Give any of them a try. Jackson or Matheson. Ramsey Campbell or James Herbert. Even some of Stephen King. Or go back and read Poe and maybe even Lovecraft. Then there's Thomas Ligotti and some of the things Dan Simmons has done.
