Scary book suggestions for Halloween?

So in the spirit of October and Halloween, I've decided to pause the book I was reading in favor of a more creepy "seasonal" novel.

I went to my local library and picked up "The Shining", so far I am about 45 pages in and it seems a little slow to me. I know it's "only 45 pages dude, don't quit that easy!" but I don't want to go through 400 some odd pages of retina-tearing font if there is a better book I could be reading.

So yeah, any suggestions of the suspense/horror/mind-f__k genre I could read?

Google searching has made me interested in "House of Leaves" but it doesn't look like they have it in any of the libraries out by me.

Woman in Black?

May I suggest a couple horror story concept albums?

Ghosts, a demon fetus, seven dark riders...


A psychotic grandmother, mysterious voices, bloody tea...


The best part is that you can listen to them on the go!

Probably ''Frankenstein'' by Mary Shelley & ''Only a witch can fly'' by Alison McGhee (wow I haven't forgotten the names) would be a fair treat enough, though I don't celebrate Halloween... I read these two when I was a kid, and I still feel like a kid at heart whenever I read them every now & then lol.
