I know a lot of you may want to vote for Storm Front, but as far as being creepy and/or scary, it's not one bit. It's quite far from it. It's not really an appropriate book as far as creepy/scary goes.

I agree with JSWolf. From what I've read about it, it doesn't sound Horror at all. It seems about as Horror as the Sookie Stackhouse series or Harry Potter. Just having some scary creatures in a story doesn't make it Horror.

I'm just glad that lame Pride & Prejudice & Zombies didn't make the cut. I can live with all the other selections.

Coincidentally, I just bought a copy of The Haunting of Hill House last week, so I'm eager to read it. My vote is decided!

I voted for Rosemary's Baby as I think that may very well be the scariest book in the list. |

My vote was pretty simple. Only two books on that list that I have any interest in.
