In the cases I mentioned it was as I was reading them.

I've thought of another example - again not scared, but more horrified. "The Walk" by Bachman (King).

As I read this short story I became almost concussed by the story and after I completed the story, I would sometimes find myself washing dishes but staring aimlessly out of the window as if suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

I recently recommended the Bachman Books to someone who wanted to experiment with King's writing.
