Reading can be a pleasurable experience, however, some like to add a touch of scariness to their reading by selecting thriller books such as those on Emplying. For those that like a scare, here are some of the scariest thriller books of all time.
Bad Dreams by Tessa Hadley
Rated in the 100 notable books of 2017 by The New York Times, this book has a thread of dread and menace running through it. A girl abducted by some Oxford students, is taken to a big house where things get even more disturbing.
The Mist by Stephen King
It was almost inevitable that a Stephen King novel would be on this list. This novel might not be one of his better-known works, but the thought of monsters lurking in the mist is one that would send a chill up many people’s spines. This and many of his other books can be found on Emplying.
The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
This is a ghost story like others you might have read, but the way it is written leaves you wondering if these apparitions are real or fake. The book is set at a time when the upper classes are being overtaken by the working class.
