Shortlist's the 34 Scariest Books of All Time

"There is nothing quite like sitting down to read one of the scariest books on the planet. Horror comes in many forms but when it is on the page it is truly the scariest king. It's worth noting, as you will see in this best horror book guide, the genre isn't just about ghosts and ghouls but can take on many forms of abject terror - from the supernatural to the psychological to real-life fear."
