LOL, Salem's Lot. The only book I ever read that
actually left me scared at night, like a kid. I was serving in Germany, at the time, in Ludwigsburg, before I ended up in Berlin, and anyway, I read it. At night, I had to leave the lights on, because my landlady (I was living on the economy) had this damned tree, in the backyard, that constantly tapped/scraped against the window, right? I'd wake up terrified, with the book causing vampire dreams, and that tree would tap-tap/scrape/scrape me into woken terror. Gosh, that was a looooooong time ago. (early 70's!).
I remember it so clearly because typically, movies don't scare me, books don't...but that one, helped along by my lovely landlady's tree, definitely spooked me. :-)
