I think I know what you mean... the last time I had that feeling was while reading 'And The Ass Saw The Angel' - Nick Cave.


Try something by John Lindqvist.

The most recent of Stephen King's books I read was three short stories in one book, called 'Full Dark No Stars'. Give that a go too.



You'd be looking for something stark, ambient and psychological rather than merely B-Grade jump scares and gore... Atmosphere. I'm sure I have read something very like that but can't quite remember.


Trying to think of ones that have the desolate unreal quality I'm thinking of. Like abandoned buildings. Like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8cNHnLXeA But none are quite post-Apocalyptic in feel.

Oh, but Dark Water was creepy. (A film was later made of this by the director of Ring, but I haven't seen it. Come to think of it also read Ring as a book.) Recommend!
