Any good book recommendations that are actually scary?
I find most scary books suck and aren't scary whatsoever. Stephen king garbage.
i find a lot of short story creepypasta stuff is pretty decent, especially body snatcher style shape shifter stuff. where you cant tell if this thing is your friend or something thats taken over theoir body.
also i recently read a bunch of posts online from some guy that calimed to be a park ranger and he said he kept finding stairs. like entire staircases, in the middle of the woods. i like that sorta thing to. idk why.
I also read most of lovecrafts stuff and think it was pretty good. some of it was a bit bleh but most of it was great.
so. any suggestions for longer books or collections of short stories that are good?

Just a guess on my part, but it seems like OP doesn't like novel-length work. Like he's more about concept than characterization. The sort of guy who doesn't like movies with a lot of talking.
There's something to that, since text relies on your own imagination to be scary. If he has trouble identifying with characters that are people in their own right, that would hurt his immersion.
I think what we're all looking for is a suspension of disbelief sufficient that it bleeds out into real life, makes us check under the bed and behind the bathroom door.
