For me it’s hard to say for sure, because my scariest book wasn’t meant as horror, but Communion by Whitley Streiber is definitely responsible for the most sleepless hours.

It’s tough to say - I tend to consider books that have stayed with me the ones that scared me the most. Off the top of my head:
- The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Aarnop
- From A Buick 8 by King (though I’d say I found this one more existentially disturbing and unsettling)
- Drood by Dan Simmons
I think, looking at this not-at-all-exhaustive list, that the books I find scariest are the ones where you’re left with more questions than answers.
