The two scariest stories I ever read were both short works by Stephen King. The Mist (in collection Skeleton Crew, though since there's now a movie version you may find a stand-alone book), and The Moving Finger (in collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes).
I still have problems with drains because of The Moving Finger. I make my husband clean all the drains because I'm too chicken to do it. And when there's a really heavy fog, I freak out thinking about The Mist.
For fun creepy stories to get you in the holiday spirit, check out Neil Gaimen's Fragile Things. I'm not a huge Gaimen fan, but his short stories in this collection are really fun. (My husband thought they were scary; I did not.)
