The 25 Scariest Books of All Time

Do yourself a favor: Don’t read these scary books right before bed.

So here’s the thing. It’s not my thing. That being said, or written, I know many of you just love the heck out of this genre. So knock yourselves out. What a minute, that’s inappropriate. That should happen while you read, I mean to the hero/heroine. That’s the least of what’s gonna happen, right?

I’m not going to give you any kind of description of what you’re in for, should you decide to chance fate and read one of these books. I’m having none of it. I’m just leaving a clue (a link) so you can decide to give it a shot (Sorry, inappropriate again) or not. The link is as far as I go with this craziness, the closest I will get to the blood, guts and gore. (sorry).

I won’t sleep well tonight knowing some of you will be foolish enough to risk permanent scared-out-of-my-wits syndrome. As for me, it’s reruns of Happy Days.

Be careful my friends, very, very careful!
