what are some scary books to read??

Here's a delayed answer: Read "Ring" by Koji Suzuki.

If you're thinking about the movie, have no fear as it is completely different. The characters, the plot, the elements all much more warped than the film.

It has a very nice eerie atmosphere and the protaganists seems to be alone throughout the entire story, making him and the reader's mind very vulnerable to anything that might happen.

The writing is a little simple and the beginning is slow, but you get into it quickly as it reads like a movie.

Sorry, I hadn't the chance to answer earlier.

You can go for the Stephen King novels, especially "It" and "Christine". "Carrie" is not bad either, but I think it more sad than scary.

Deep and Dark and Dangurus. Dont think I spelled dangurus right! Sorry.

u may not get scared by this but agatha cristie writes mystery stories which can get kinda scarey

anything Edgar allan poe

Goosebumps..hahaha no im totally kidding

you should try to read Edgar Allan Poe stories, they r really scary.

how about man size in marble???? i heard that that was really scary..........

I know this sounds silly, but Goodnight Kiss and Goodknight Kiss 2 are really good books by R.L. Stines; although not really scary. A book that scared me was Falling. Sorry I forgot the author's name...

Anything by Steven King.

frank peretti is good... especially Hangman's Curse.
