The two worst (scarcest) stories I've read were Interview With A Vampire and The Collector.

I had read The Collector 1972 and it just crept me out. Long story short - weird guy wins British lottery and kidnaps girl. The story is told from both sides, his and hers. Girl gets sick, dies. Guy wants to collect another girl. The creepy part was where the story tries to get inside his mind where he's justifying his kidnapping and imprisonment of her.

Interview With A Vampire. I read it in '73. It's much better written than the original Dracula but builds on the intensity as did that book. The creepy part was when the little girl is turned into a vampire. It was like watching a gruesome accident. I wanted to stop and put the book down, but I had to see what happened.

I've re-read Interview With A Vampire a few times over the years. But The Collector was just too much.
