Most recently it was White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi-- one of those creepy "the house is alive and it eats people!" stories, but with even more added scariness in the characters' personalities/actions/etc. Even just thinking about it gives me the shivers!
Scariest book of all time, though, would definitely be Stephen King's It. I read it when I was in 8th grade and I couldn't sleep for about a week, let alone be by myself in the day time.
