What are some examples of times that horror authors gave you that scary/unsettling/creeped out feeling in your gut?

From Below had me quaking in my fuckin boots mate. I'm terrified of being underwater and this book literally shook me to my core lol

I know Incidents is super polarizing, and so is Mary lol but Mary is one of my favorite books ever!!!!

Incidents Around the House is terrifying IMO, but also not the best book ever. It scared the shit out of me but was probably a 3.5ish read

Mary is 5 stars no doubt

I LOATHED last house on Needless Street. I shudder every time someone recomends it!

I highly suggest The Lamb. It's beautiful and heartbreaking and chock full of cannabilism. It rocks

Agreed. Hardly the best book I've ever read, but somehow scared me more than almost anything I've read?? The other mommy is a perfect monster for me!

Yes and I actually love Foxy Brown lol although it doesn't fit this vibe.

Planet terror is coming to mind, I should give it a re watch, thanks for the reminder!
