1.

The Talisman

A coming of age story in which the boy coming of age comes of age both here - and - somewhere else. A parallel world.

Bag of Bones

You never see it coming - which is why it is so disturbing - so disturbing that it is actually believable.

4.

The Dreamcatcher

The power of friendship - and the power of mind over matter. An awesomely chilling book by the King of Horror.

5.

The Gunslinger; Stephen King

The sheer hopelessness of this novel - indeed of the whole darktower series - is bone-chilling in and of itself.

6.

Salem's Lot

One of the most disturbing novels ever written. This had me sleepless for three nights.

Needful Things

Perhaps the scariest thing about this is the fact that they all do it to themselves - the power of the human mind when it sets its sights on a goal. Disturbing.
