Best Scary Books

The best books for the getting scared--in order of creepiness/awesomeness. Perfect for Halloween.

Dracula	Bram Stoker	Perfectly creepy, from beginning to end.
Frankenstein	Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The Raven	Edgar Allan Poe	Classic. The Simpsons Halloween special that uses this poem is awesome, too.
The Turn of the Screw	Henry James	Scary children and/or insanity. Love it.
The Woman in White	Wilkie Collins	I love this book--very suspenseful.
The Fall of the House of Usher	Edgar Allan Poe
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde	Robert Louis Stevenson	Good story and a good Halloween costume.
The Masque of the Red Death	Edgar Allan Poe
The Yellow Wallpaper	Charlotte Perkins Gilman	Yes this story is serious about the plight of women--but it's also quite eerie. After reading this story the word "creep" has always given me the chills.
Young Goodman Brown	Nathaniel Hawthorne	The pilgrims go wild! Seriously, a great, bizarre, surreal story that is much creepier than its name suggests.
