Gruesome books?

Hello Internet,

So I'm reading this book called Misery by Stephen King, and I'm at around 200 pages. For once, I was actually scared to continue to read since the antagonist cut of the main character's foot. It was actually gruesome as I imagined it in my head, and boy, was it disturbing.

That rarely happens to me as I find it is just words. Words don't scare me, that was, until then (and probably when I start reading The Shining). Pictures or videos disturb me more than words, and that will always be true, but those words made a picture in my mind that just gave me the shivers.

So, what do you have to say about scary sections of books, or overall horror novels? Post your comment and have your say about these books that just make you jump.

Thanks for reading,
