The Magic Cottage by James Herbert.

Such a readable book, but really creeped me out. Utterly terrifying.

Pan book of horror stories, volumes 12 to 16. The short story that sticks in my mind is 'The Island of regrets' by Elizabeth Walter

IT by Stephen King - read it in 48 hours when I was a teenager almost without a break as I was too scared to go sleep!

I read The Entity by Frank De Felitta in my mid teens, couldn't put it down and was pretty disturbed by the subject matter.
After reading at bedtime, I would leave the light on those nights.
Probably the fact that it is based on actual events didn't help and that there was no conclusion to the story, as it was stated that it was still going on.

Inside The Third Reich- Albert Speer
You will never believe the myth again that it was just Nazi members being twats and everyone else didnt know what was happening, millions of citizens played along with the madness.
Quite astonishing it happened within the lifetime of people still here.

I read the Exorcist when I was 14 and it really put the s..ts up me; I was sure I felt the bed moving every night. The film didn't come close to scaring me as much as the book did.

MR James's ghost stories - he's the absolute master of the art. The Wailing Well scared the life out of me as a kid but there are loads more that are just as creepy
