Haunted, by Chuck PalahniukRead about the other entries on the list.
Though not in the vein of classic ghost stories, Palahniuk’s collection of short stories will nonetheless make your blood curdle. The premise? A bunch of writers think they’re on a retreat, then realize they’ve signed up for something much more sinister. What they do in response is incredibly unnerving, gory, and entertaining. You’ll get pangs of phantom pain alongside the shivers.
Haunted is among Amanda Yesilbas and Charlie Jane Anders's ten horror novels that are scarier than almost any movie.
