I think I would recommend something by Ray Bradbury: "The October Country" or "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

I was going to say that I didn't read any scary kid's books, and that's true as far as novels go. I remembered, though, that I read anthologies. Not necessarily for kids, but some stories stand out like "The Monkey's Paw" and something called "The Horla." That one really impressed me.

Argh. Off the top of my head: Dracula, The Uninvited, The Shining (now that scared the bejabbers out of me), any collection of Poe's macabre short stories, and The Haunted Looking Glass, one of those anthologies from my youth.

Duh! "Haunted Richmond"
