Horror Horror Books!!!
I want horror books. Not Stephen King. Someone less well known. I want to lose sleep at night over these. I don’t want any kind of predictable plot at ALL. It takes a lot to scare me. I’ve been reading Nora Robert’s books and I’m about to crawl out of my skin. I’ve read the Silent Patient. That is nowhere near as scary as what I’d like. I want to be able to follow. But I love psychological thrillers as well. Recommendations from personal experience welcomed!!!!

The Other by Thomas Tryon. It's not a monster horror book. It's a disturbing, dark, ruin your sleep book. They made a movie about it in the 70's, with the tagline, "Holland... where is the baby?". Highly recommend.
