I have put it on here before but 3 books for me scare the pants off you because allegedly they are true. The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel, Hostage to the Devil and "Haunted" about the Smurl family

Aw, that's a truly great book - lest we forget some monsters are real.
I recommend "City Infernal" or "Messenger" both by Edward Lee. City Infernal has a very, very terrifying and horrifying look at the way Hell could be. It makes you want to be just a little bit nicer in this life.Messenger looks at something that cant jump from body to body with atrocious circumstances.
For one of the most disturbing book, though not horrifying but incredibly disturbing with a Lovecraftian feel to it is: "Going Monstering" also by Lee. Do not read before you get a good feel for his writing style from at least two other novels. lol No really.
Midnight hour collection vol I, find it on amazon will also be in print soon and I will be giving away signed copies, enjoy and please share!
Just got a Kindle so looking for stuff to download! Any more suggestions... Preferably books which aren't too expensive? Thank you
This may have been mentioned, but Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door was beyond disturbing, and magnificently written.
I really want to read The Girl Next Door but I'm struggling to find a copy which isn't expensive. Does anybody know where I could get one?
Hi Jodi! Does your library have a copy? Also, be warned, after I read The Girl Next Door, I was so disturbed by it I didn't read any other Ketchum for years. Truly upsetting.
