The SCARIEST Books I've Ever Read (In My Entire Life)

Mary Shelley was writing from a very, very dark place and though I don't like this book all that much, it still is one of the scariest novels I think I've ever read.

This is probably the most psychological novel I've ever read. It is engaging my mind. It's stretching me at the seams, and that's exactly what it does to the characters.

This has to be one of the greatest books I think I've ever read of how it made me feel so many things. On one hand, it's so deep and philosophical. On the other, it's beautiful and romantic and just the yearning draws you in.

And the ending is one of the greatest horror endings ever written. If you're finishing that book well after midnight, you're not going to be able to sleep. It's one of those books that as soon as I picked it up, I could not put it down until it was finished.

I've never felt more existential dread or despair than I have in this book. Brian Hodge knocked it out of the park. When it comes to cosmic horror, this has to be among the greatest cosmic horror stories ever written.

Truly dystopian at its core, I think The Auctioneer is one of the most poignant horror novels ever written, and I wish John Sansom had lived a longer life to be able to write more novels, but sadly she left us with the one, but let me tell you, it's a scary freaking banger.

When I read this book last year, it quickly became one of my favorite horror novels I've ever read.

This book was thrilling, it was engaging, but it was also very scary. When it comes to cosmic horror, I'm such a big fan, and this knocked it out of the park. It nailed every single moment.
