Have you ever stopped reading a book because it freaked you out or it was too scary?

Nope

I tried reading Steven King, but put it down because it was creepy. That was quite a while ago- more than 25 years.

Can't say I have. I love books and movies that get under your skin haha. Family full of horror buffs haha - I go for the psychological thrillers over the gore though

Well the only one that I might have temporarily put down was Salem's Lot. I read that when I was working evening shift as a nurse and so I'd be reading it about 2-3AM and when I'd hear scratching at my window, I'd have to stop reading and bury my head under my pillow...but CERTAINLY not look at the windows!! (thus inviting the vampires in!!) But I did go on to finish the book. But it scared the bejeebus (how do you spell that anyway) out of me!!

When I was a kid, I read Bram Stoker's "Dracula" - scared the crap out of me so bad that I slept with the covers pulled up under my chin, but I couldn't put it down until I finished it.

I don't finish every book I start, but I've never put one down because it was too scary or freaky. I abandon books that bore me. If it hasn't grabbed me by the end of the first chapter, I'm done. Give me a reason to care about what happens next or don't waste my time.

Only if I am home alone and get scarred!

But then when dh comes up, I pick the book back up and finish reading it.

I've read alot of True Crime books and the only one that really was disturbing to me was about a Amish man who was so severely schizophrenic and unmedicated mostly because of his religious beliefs. He was medicated for a short while but didn't like the side effects ,he and his family thought prayer could heal him instead. He just got progressively worse until he beat his young wife (in front of his children) then gutted her like a deer and stacked all her organs next to her in a pile on the kitchen floor..........total creeped me out the way they described it. Of course the pictures of him in the book added to it.He just looked totally evil! The name of the book was "Crimson Stain" by Jim Fisher

I tried to read Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes but it disturbed me so much, I couldn't sleep. I finally gave up.
