Next up, I will read The Shining, which I read is different from the movie adaptation too.

I never liked the Stanley Kubrick directed picture even though I'm a huge fan of Jack Nicholson.

The Shining is one of the very few cases where I think the film is better than the book. Kubrick made the right decision to remove a lot of the really obvious supernatural stuff and focus on the characters' relationships.

Anyway, the scariest book I ever read is Bruce Coville's Book Of Nightmares: Tales To Make You Scream:

Specifically, the story "The Fat Man" by Joe R. Lansdale literally gave 8-year-old me nightmares, so mission accomplished, Mr. Coville!
