Five books that have spooked me. These are sophisticated, beautifully written and psychologically gruelling tales. The stuff of nightmares. And I adore each one.
1
It's described as darkly comic. Which it is – but it is also genuinely terrifying. I couldn't read it at night!
2
Grisly, unsettling and unputdownable.
3
The Marquis de Sade rated it! Need I say more?
4
The finest and best ever ghost stories – "Lost Hearts" being, in my opinion, the scariest of them all.
5
Gory, disturbing and truly shocking.
