Writing Question

Have you ever read a book that's made you paranoid or scared?

The first book that ever frightened me was The Big Friendly Giant. I was in third grade, and when I read it, I got extremely scared because I thought a giant would kinap me.

I haven't felt this in a long time, but now I'm reading Lord of the Flies, and the unknown beat is scaring me, along with their creepy chant ... [i]Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in/Spill her blood." *shudders* I couldn't even go upstairs without my three-year-old brother accompanying me.

So, what book has creeped you out?

Actually, the book "Coraline" freaked me RIGHT out, it was just so twisted and weird. It probably didn't help that I read the majority of it at night, but it was a good read. Freaky, but good.

But right now it doesn't make me scared anymore, I was a kid when I first read it, about 8 years old.

There are a few movies and plays, and a few campfire stories that have scared the living crap out of me, but no books that I can recall.

I read the book "Blood Promise" from the Vampire Academy series when I was camping one weekend. We were set up next to another family's trailer that had blood-red curtains... People would come drop off pale people w/ sunglasses and huge coolers, but no one would come out during the day. We were convinced they were vampires..lol.. and I was the only person awake one night and I was reading the book and a girl was in a mansion that belonged to evil vampires and the girl said she "escaped through a window that had blood-red curtains" so i was freaked out the whole night lol lol

"The Monstrumologist" is truly scary. I refused to get out of because I thought one of the monsters from the book would jump out from under my bed and eat me. o_O
"The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp" wasn't scary, but it did make me paranoid. Every time something weird would happen, I would think "Omigod, OIPEP's coming to get me!!"

Well the last book that I read that really creeped me out was when I was five. I read this book about a crocodile living in the sewer and that crocodile bit people when they were um... disposing waste in the toilet. I'm a girl and I peed standing up for a month! How? Well I remember standing on the seat... and falling off pretty much every time. I think that was when I first broke my arm...

Funny how your imagination can get to you, huh?
