I read Apt Pupil by Stephen King and I thought it was the most boring book ever. This was my first introduction to horror books and I was pretty disappointed. What recommendations do you have for truly scary books?
I don’t know if it helps but when I go watch scary movies, I hate that ghosts and demons nonsense. I like psychological thriller movies. Movies where it could possibly happen in real life. I want a book like that. A really scary book. I read lots of comments here on Reddit saying that Apt Pupil was super terrifying and how they couldn’t think properly after reading it but it literally did nothing for me. I had to force myself to finish the book because I thought it was super boring and this was my first horror book ever. So any recommendations?
