Any bone-chilling books?

I really want to read some horror books OTHER than R.L. Stine's Fear Street AKA BEST SERIES EVER. Or Christofer Pike (:

ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ? =I

I hate to be cliche but Stephen King really does write some great stuff.
I'd recommend Bag of Bones by him. It's not in your face scary, but it is creepy in a way that only King can produce.

I'd have to agree with Axed about Bag of Bones. It's an amazing book, definitely a creepy read.

I actually don't really like Steven King.. =/ Read some of a couple of his books and they just weren't hitting my fancy. I like the movies though! :P

Happy Fun Ball is pretty messed. I can't remember the author, but it made me freaked out. :P

Here are some great series that are 'scary' You will love these books. One is about demons and were wolves {Demonata} and the other is about vampires and none of that twilight shit. The books both contain alot of gore and twists and turns which make it very good!
The Demonata series by Darren Shan.
The Cirque Du Freak series by Darren Shan.

I still think Edgar Allen Poe is an easy reader and I recommend the Black Cat.

Oh, and it's a small known fact the Roald Dahl did some horror stories, try his short 'The Land Lady'

you can find them on google in pdf online versions.

Just saying I've read both of these series all the way through (besides Demonata that one still has books coming out) and didn't find them scary or creepy more of just a young fantasy although the Demonata does go pretty gory

I'd recommend books by Jeffery Deaver, Patricia Cornwell, Kay Hooper, and James Patterson. Personally, those authors beat R.L. Stine by a long shot.

All those authors write about murders, mysteries, and they're really good, thrilling, bone chillers, and suspenseful. As far as personal preference on books, I've read most of them and all are extremely well written.

Stephen King has certainly written some very good books.I would recommend "Misery" and "The Stand" by him.

Also "The Silence of the Lambs" by Thomas Harris is another book I enjoyed though not exactly very creepy.
