If the list will accept short stories, then definitely "The Lottery"; and if not, I think her book The Sundial is one of the creepiest things I've ever read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-19786732559443812842013-10-16T06:51:55.363-06:002013-10-16T06:51:55.363-06:00Heather ...

I'm very surprised that The Shining and It aren't on the list.

Another disturbing, unsettling book I'd add to the list is Beasts, by Joyce Carol Oates. Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.com
