Stephen King has ruined me! Can't read him without having nightmares, can't stay away.
That being said, there are some spooky middle grade/YA books I love: The Graveyard Book, Malice, Juniper Berry, Guys Read: Thriller, Coraline.
Great, Alison! Thanks!
My pick this year is Drood, by Dan Simmons. I'm not a big fan of gore and this one kind of stretched that limit for me, but I have to say it was very well-written and creeeeeeepy. Great read. Long read, but great read.
