My House of Horrors. Literally made me fear ghosts again, but it was really interesting.

The scariest work of fiction I've read this year would be "Cat Out of Hell" by Lynne Truss, but my view seems to be a bit controversial.
Perhaps it was my imagination and experiences with death that did most of the work. A pit of corpses is not an abstraction in my mind. And the callous, detached yet methodic mannerisms of one of the characters reminded me of similar characters I myself had encountered out in the world.
