34. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
I never saw the original movie made after this book, but I did see the remake in 200? and it was terrible. The book was much better but not as scary as I would have liked. At most it was just mysterious and unexplained. I guess I'm just used to Stephen King scary. My dad actually read about this book in the aforementioned Book Lust and read it first, then I checked it out and read it.
