I can see lots of titles in these posts of good scary stories I have read - love a good creepy horror story! But I think the book that really gave me bad dreams was George Orwell's "1984". I think it was the fact that the scary people were real; I know deep down that there are no real vampires or ghosts, unfortunately there are real secret police and ruthless governments.
One thing that puts me off some horror stories is the amount of physical violence, I prefer the unseen horrors of H P Lovecraft to graphic descriptions of people being decapitated by crazed zombies or whatever.
