I've never really read an adult horror novel (like Stephen King), so I'm always uncertain of picking up something that's more than children's or YA for this genre. I don't know if that's silly or if this is a problem others face too.
As a kid, I saw several horror movies (with my parents nonetheless) and they left me having several nightmares (and one where I couldn't sleep at night for an entire summer! Thanks a lot The Exorcist!). I'm sure this adds to my reluctance of giving adult horror books a try.
