50 Scariest Books of All Time

"These books hail from places across the rich spectrum of terrifying literature produced in the last 150 years or so: sometimes a history book can be scarier than a slasher movie. There's truly something here to scare the pants off of anyone and everyone. So if you don't find a particular entry scary, well, thank all the Old Gods and move on to the next one."
