>• The author of Coraline and last year's Newbery Medal-winning The Graveyard Book knows how to give kids chills—but what makes him shiver and shake?
A sampling:
OH, WHISTLE, AND I'LL COME TO YOU, MY LAD by M.R. James
"The scariest short story—somebody is haunted by a bedsheet."
THE SHINING by Stephen King
"Deeply creepy—the best haunted house story of them all."
BOOKS OF BLOOD by Clive Barker
"Actually scary while being beautiful."
HEART-SHAPED BOX by Joe Hill
"The first time I remember being scared as an adult author." About a haunted suit, the novel was so gripping Gaiman even read while "flossing my teeth."—
