The Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency

Survivor Type, by Stephen King. A doctor is marooned on a barren sandbar in the Pacific Ocean with nothing but a stash of narcotics and surgical tools. Take a wild guess where it all goes from there.

I read one by Stephen King with a title I can't remember, but it's about a guy who's been bitten by a snake that causes a paralysis that makes the victim appear to be dead. Anyhow the coroner and his assistant begin doing their autopsy while this guy is alive and conscious.

I recall a Stephen king short story called Dolan's Cadillac where this guy goes to great lenths to bury this dude alive in his car.

There was another one, I forget who by, called The french doors or something, some guy alone in his house and through these doors it was total dark outside, like no stars in space dark. He thought he saw something out there so he went to look and as he was going around the outside of the house he saw this reallly fucked up human/thing inside the house. Freaked me out.

You know that Bestial: Werewolf apocalypse book that theres a thread on? Thats mine. Nothin creepier (that ive read) than evil werewolves that kill and destroy anything, theres a couple other stuff too in there thats more than a bit creepy.

I'm necro posting but... meh...

I can't remember the name of the story but it's a Steven King story about this guy that works in a warehouse and he and a bunch of his coworkers are forced to go into the sub sub SUB basement to clear out the rats, which have all evolved... it was pretty creepy at the end... I don't want to spoil it, you'd just have to read it.

This is an impossible question to answer for the likes of us. I know I could never nail down one book or story for my #1 disturbing/frightening slot. I assume most here are in the same bag. That being said Neil Gaimans "The Problem Of Susan" freaked me out. Bad. Diddnt scare me much but it disturbed me as badly as anything I have ever read. Kept me up and thats saying something. It is based on the Narnia mythos and is universally considered quite controversial. Some of the more hardcore fans of the series actually call it blasphemous. A disturbing read.

I was going to give the Stephen King titles but WSW has beaten me to it! Both excellent stories.

I had to stop reading a book last week - I forget the title - because I was so disturbed, it's not a horror, the protagonist was a teenage girl with a fascination for her own body and not just in a sexual way. She liked her own bodily fluids too much much. I was feeling nauseous reading it. Urgh.

Only King book to give me nightmares was 'The Shining', although 'Pet Sematery' came close.
