Frightening Fiction: Will's Picks for Creepy Autumn Reads

Since junior high, I've been an avid fan of horror fiction. For this list, I focused on the books that frightened me to the point that I couldn't sleep, jumped at every house-settling creak, couldn't shake when I was done, or had to put aside until I could read it in daylight!
