I’m Reading the Scariest Books Ever Written 👀 My Summer of Fear Begins

Is there a book out there that can scare me MORE than a horror film? I'm about to find out... This summer I'm setting myself a challenge: to read and rank some of the books frequently described as the scariest horror novels ever written. After researching articles, videos and feedback from more than 150,000 horror readers across my social media channels, I've compiled a list of 15 classic(ish) books considered the most frightening of all time. I'll be reading them this summer, and bringing you my verdict along the way. Do you want to join me on my summer of fear? Oh I thought you might! Remember, horror is subjective, and this is just the start of what will no doubt be a long journey to find my scariest read... 00:00 Welcome to my Summer of Fear 02:09 How I compiled my shortlist 04:28 The 15 books 08:23 Honourable mentions & modern shout outs 10:25 How I ranked the books I've read so far Books mentioned: Pet Sematary, Come Closer, The Exorcist, Ghost Story, Heart-Shaped Box, Hell House, Salem's Lot, House of Leaves, The Ruins, The Shining, The Woman in Black, Dark Matter, Naomi's Room, Last Days, The Haunting of Hill House, Amityville Horror, Naomi's Room, The Rats, The Troop, Incidents Around The House, Hex, Penpal.
