Top Ten Tuesday: Scary Books

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. Make your list and link up at their site. 
This week I wanted to do a Top Ten Tuesday in honor of Halloween, so I've picked out my top ten 10 spooky/creepy/scary books for the season. And, okay, some of them might not have actually scared me, but they are appropriate for Halloween.
Here are mine in no particular order
-The Forest of Hands and Teeth
-Tyger Tyger
-The SUmmoning (Darkest Powers)
-Maze Runner
-Wake

Okay so I can't think if any more, but these had slightly creepy elements-- maybe I just don't scare easily or my mind is going blank one :)

    I've only read The Forests of Hands and Teeth and The Summoning (though neither made my list). TFOHAT is pretty creepy, but I think I was more disturbed and confused by that book than anything else.

    The title Forests of Hands & Teeth sounds scary as it is :D Here's mine.

    I haven't read any of these, but I've heard a lot about Maze Runner.

    Lots of books I want to read on that list, even though I don't normally love scary books. I really want to read Tyger Tyger and TFOHAT though.

    I didn't think Tyger Tyger was scary, although it WAS a really good book! The Forest of Hands and Teeth is high on my wishlist! :) Oh! As is Maze Runner!

    I have the opposite problem and am so easily scared it's ridiculous.

    I agree that The Forest of Hand and Teeth was creepy. The book that scared me the most was Salem's Lot by Stephen King . I could not sleep for days!

    I have yet to muster up the courage to read The Forest of Hands and Teeth - I've heard that one has quite the scare factor. Scariest reads for me? I'd have to say some of Stephen King's books - read quite a few, but I think the Shining would definitely be one of those creepy books that really scared me!
