Wow....thats an amazing giveaway..
My 2nd scariest read, would be from the short stories from I am Legend (not the story for I am Legend) but the shorts that come within that book..a few of them were quiet disturbing..ok two of them :)

Thanks so much for an awesome giveaway!
Crystal
For long fiction it would have to be Stephen King's It and for short fiction Clive Barker's Books of Blood.
My scariest book was The Shining by Stephen King. Only because I was at the part with the lady coming out of the tub and someone outside knocked on my window at 3 am. That was creepy! I do love horror books. They are the best. Thank you so much!

I would really like to enter this.
I think that my scariest book ever was Midnight is a lonely Place by Barbara Erskine. I couldn't read it if i was the only one awake in our house and when I reread it....it still scares me. LOL
Hi Crystal
Just read a brief account of Snuff. No wonder it scared you! Sounds pretty horrific.
Thanks for writing!
Hi There, scifiguy - owner of a great site!
Several people have nominated It as number one scary book. I haven't read this book, but now feel a strong compulsion to do so.
Thanks

The Shining gave me nightmares, but as I read it I was totally sucked in. I was with that little boy the whole way even when he saw the lady in the tub which has got to be one of the scariest scenes ever written.

That book was definitely scary! I don't remember much about the movie except the head spinning.
Please enter me...The scariest book I ever read was Christopher Pike's Season of Passage...it was so creepy.

Hi Sara
I forgot about Season of Passage. It was scary! I found it very well written and I was hooked on every word.
Thanks for writing!
Stephen King's Pet Sematary is one of the scariest books I've ever read. I love animals, especially cats, and I can't imagine anything like that really happening!

Hi Carol
You and others felt much the same about this book. The topic alone is creepy.
Thanks for your commnet!
I read a little bit of Stephen King's It, but it freaked me out to much to finish.
Hi scooper
Lots of people say this is the scariest book they have ever read. At least you tried!
Thanks for writing.
Another vote for Pet Sematary. The little boy that comes back from the grave is horrible. The Stand did not scare me, but it sure entertained mt, one of my favorites.
Scariest? Stephen King's NEEDFUL THINGS!
Thanks for including me in this contest. :)
Hey anonymous
Please write back and leave your name so I can add you to list of contestants!!
Stephen King reigns. Haven't read Needful Things YET!
Thanks!
The scariest for me was "The Mist" by Stephen King! Thanks for sponsoring this great contest.

King has been mentioned several times, but I think this is the first time for The Mist.
Happy to add it to the list
