Probably the killing of the dogs in The Damnation Game.

Finding out what really happens to sara in bag of bones That was really awful.
Not sure of a saddest event, nothing coming to mind. But I do remember the funeral scene in Salem's Lot was ridiculously sad
Well I cried when Georgia was killed in Feed by Mira Grant. What can I say, I'm a sucker for tragic moments :)
Mine is in the stand when only stu read an comes back home, it breaks my heart every time that Larry doesn't come back. Oh, and again in the stand when Nick Gets killed.

I felt the same way.
The end of Dweller by Jeff Strand. It's a possible group read next month so I won't spoil it but those that have read it will know what I'm talking about. If you haven't read it, you really need to.

Who knew one man and his monster could have such an affect.
DWELLER was almost more of a tragedy than a horror novel. Fantastic read in any case.
The last few pages of Robert McCammon's BOY'S LIFE.I cry like a baby every...single...time I read it.
Mod

I cry at the beginning as well, I don't know why but it chokes me up every time.
There's a few passages in Boy's Life that make me cry. There's a scene in James Newman's book Animosity they made me cry too.
I also love this passage:“If you were my girlfriend I would give you a hundred lightning bugs in a green glass jar, so you could always see your way. I would give you a meadow full of wildflowers, where no two blooms would ever be alike. I would give you my bicycle, with its golden eye to protect you. I would write a story for you, and make you a princess who lived in a white marble castle. If you would only like me, I would give you magic. If you would only like me.”
Breaks my heart whenever I read it.
I started reading a galley of Suffer the Children, by Craig DiLouie, yesterday and cried through most of the first third. It's no spoiler, since the premise is stated in the first sentence of the Goodreads synopsis, to say that all of the world's children dropping dead is the saddest thing I've ever read about.
Toni Morrison's Beloved. Finding out what Sethe did to her baby. MAD fucked up. I think I can understand her being that crazy, in that moment, but DAMN that is so tragic.

There's a scene in Shaun Hutson's Compulsion where a bunch of yobs are nailing a cat to the wall by its paws. For some reason, it was heart-wrenching. I've a soft spot for animals me...torturing them isn't necessary in books.
The tiny little fingers scene in Rhiannon Frater's As the world dies series really choked me up.

Omg, I would go balistic on that one. Btw, my kitty was killed 2 days ago :(((( I can't stop crying. I loved him so very much. I have his brother still, so that's a bit of a comfort. I love him as well a lot, but he is totally different...but at least he's alive.

I know and I just started reading his books too. :(
Pretty much the 2nd half of A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, it got me sobbing.
Cujo.My moment was when Cujo died at the end.

Let's Go Play At The Adams'
(view spoiler)[ The fact that the girl experienced her first orgasm while being raped. I read this a couple years ago and it still sickens me to this day.
For some reason this goes beyond the physical torture in any novel and crowns the ultimate disaster on this poor girl. It's so wrong I cannot quantify it.
(hide spoiler)]
That's my crying shame, what's yours?
