Also, in the same vein, “The Little Stranger” by Sarah Waters is QUITE creepy, even though I’m not really sure what happened in the end. Haunted house stories are the best, in my opinion. :)

I’ve been looking for a copy of “The Woman in Black” by Susan Hill, since I heard about the upcoming movie:

To me what’s most scary is the idea of something inexplicably Other managing to come right up close to you. For example: Realising someone is downstairs intending to rob you? Scary.
Realising someone is downstairs intending to kill you? Scarier.
Realising someone is downstairs alright, but with no discernable intentions at all? Terrifying.
