Genuine question but, are horror books actually scary…? Like the only one I’ve read was IT and tbh it was sooooo tame compared to the movie that I’m genuinely confused how some ppl find horror books scary

I prefer psychological thrillers more in book form, but movies for ones like IT

There are some that are definitely scary/ dread inducing! IT is a little different. I would recommend trying some shorter horror novels and novellas.

It depends on you. Nothing in a fictional novel scares me, because real life can be so full of horrors. I like reading about characters trying to overcome evil.
