Nick German asked Matt Shaw:

which books are able to scare you? (yours or others) I'm sure that as a horror writer you are very aware of what strikes fear in your own heart, but i also suspect that it doesn't happen to you often when reading other authors, or even yourself. but i'd be curious to know what books you've read that have sent a shiver down your spine.

Matt Shaw Only one: The Woman in Black by Susan Hill.

I scared myself writing The Cabin. I was typing about someone banging on the wall and the Postman hit the door behind me. I nearly shat.
Sorry for how long it took me to respond... I never had a notification :(
