Good Day, lovely Littens! I am working on a blog post and reading challenge for October called 31 Days of Halloween Reading. To help me build my list of 31 of the scariest, most blood-curdling stories ever, I am asking my friends to share their favorite scary story. What's the one book that gave you nightmares, made you sleep with the lights on and closet doors closed, that gave your goosebumps goosebumps? #31DaysofHalloweenReading
Kalalalatja Click-Clack the Rattlebag by Neil Gaiman made the hairs on my neck stand up! I found it in this collection of short stories![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

CocoReads @Yellowpigeon I understand that. My phone is clogged with screenshots because I think "I must go back and look at so and sos post for more ideas later" 7y
Jinjer I must be weird because I have never found a book that scares me or gives me nightmares or anything. Sucks. I want to be terrified.😂Guess I saw Halloween and Friday the 13th 500 too many times. I'm desensitized. 7y
Jinjer @CocoReads @Yellowpigeon ditto on the screenshots. 7y
