CBR's 15 Books That Are Way Scarier Than the Movie

"Movies frequently use novels as source material. When authors create rich, vibrant stories inside their pages, it's hard not to want to see them played out on the big screen. Countless fairy tales, children's books, dramas and romance novels eventually become films. For horror movie fans, they can also see their favorite books turned into fantastically scary movies. Sometimes, a reader's imagination is a lot scarier than that of a movie adaptation. These horror books may have been adapted into entertaining, beloved movies, but they are still worth reading because of the frights they deliver. Horror fans will be missing out if they don't add these terrifying novels to their TBR lists." - cbr.com
