Hello Folks,

Could you tell me which book(s) scared you while reading?

There are books which absorb us,scare etc...

Cheers,

"The desolation" - testimonies of survivors from Chernobyl.
"L'inavouable vérité" (The unavowable truth) about french complicity in the Rwanda genocide.
"The biotech century" about GMO.

These are far more scary than any Stephen King novel.

The bible. The violence and threats scared the hell out of me as a child.

As for me:

I will always remember this day.I had a special fright in me.I am speaking about the poem "Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe...I was reading this poem at night when my city was in the dark and it was cold outside and this poem really scared me...

It

Once upon a midnight dreary,while I pondered,weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgetten lore,
While I nodded,nearly napping,suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,rapping at my chamber door.
" 'Tis some visitor, "I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door -
Only this,and nothing more."

....

brrrrrrrr

a book that scaried me...PETER RABBIT....run run run petter don't let the garden get you & eat u alive :::laughs:::

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James written in 1898.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow, vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the lost Lenore
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore
Nameless here forevermore.

From memory. :)

Im guessing visually everyone has the simpsons version of that embedded in their memory

Simpsons version yay :D

Hmmm a book that scared me... I don't think there really has been one that really frightened me, but The Stand by Stephen King was a bit creepy since it seemed like it really could happen...

There has only been one book that ever made me cry, the 5th Harry Potter, when Sirius Black died.
