Day 8: Book That Scares You

This one was easy

The Historian written by Elizabeth Kostova



Basically it is a book about Dracula and it scared me to death. I thought Dracula himself was going to sneak into my room and kill me at any moment while reading this book. Plus, I read it while I was camping with my family which made it worse by being out in the middle of the woods. If I remember correctly the wind had something to do with him appearing. Anyway it was really well written and was very suspenseful. It was not scary because of a lot of deaths or gore or terror (it had none of this) it was just the possibility of it. Very well written, and terrifying. 

What book scared you the most?

  1. The Exorcist. I read during finals week (spring of my senior year) when I should have been studying. It scared the heck out of me, but I couldn't put it down until I finished. It left me about an hour to study for my embryology final.
