This is a hard one. There are like four or five of his novels that scared the crap out of me but Pet Sematary might take that prize in my opinion. I remember reading that novel in my living room, broad daylight, and I got into one of the bog scenes and I was startled by a knock at my front door. Spooked, I went to go answer the knock and no one was there! 😦

In terms of real life and supernatural horror, there's nothing scarier to me than Pet Sematary.

Sean Gerace

Hands down, Pet Sematary.

Irving Le Turkey

The Reaper’s Image. The atmosphere of bored dread is unlike anything else I’ve ever read. I first read it as a kid and we had a huge mirror at the end of the hall in my house. I pretended to lose my key so that I didn’t have to go in alone as a latchkey kid.

Jennifer Urbain

Short story? Gramma. Novel? Salem’s Lot.

John Fedele

Pet Semetary and The Jaunt

Cole Meyer

There are two King stories that humbled my macho late teens early twenties ego reading late at night, Salem’s Lot and specifically the elevator chapter from The Shining!

Troy Smith

Pet semetary and Gerald's game. The thought of being trapped in a bed with hungry dogs and other things scared the crap out of me.

Jennifer Bennett

It and The Outsider only 2 I can think of that real life creeped me out. It cz pennywise did lesser shit alot, random floating balloons n such so I'd hear something in the other room and have to stop for a sec, lol. The Outsider cz I'd think of that playdo faced thing standing in the dark when leaving for work in the morning 😅 honorable mention to that lawn jockey from Duma key cz of how it was described as running around so fast 😬

Ellen Kesler

Gramma was terrifying! I still get chills thinking about it.

The Outsider really creeped me out too! The first King book I ever read and I was hooked immediately

Weirdly enough I think the Outsider was probably the most genuinely creeped out I’ve been reading a Stephen King book just for those couple of pages where the outsider is talking to the kid in the bedroom and the cop (?) in the bathroom. Two very unsettling moments in a book that I did not really care for otherwise.

For Novels, I think my original read of Salem's Lot (at age 13) was the scariest. For shorts, I think The Jaunt, or maybe The Raft. And as a side note: I was pretty creeped out by his son's novel, Heart Shaped Box.

N is scary in an existential way.
