House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski.
I could recommend all of the standard ones already mentioned in this thread, they're all good ... but you're looking for something different.
Trust me.

Pet Semetary was his scariest work imo Only because I would've done exactly the same things our protagonist did. Dealing with loss is a hell of a mindfrick.
Having no idea what Pet Semetary was about, I coincidentally read when it my son was about to turn 2. The back half or third or whatever was hard to read. It isn't scary in a "woooo ghosts and goblins!" way, but because it surfaces your worst fears and then slaps an awful, yet disturbingly relatable, horror story on top of them.
Jesus. That book haunted me. I'd be walking the dog weeks afterwards and realize I was thinking about it.
Also, it's one of the few King books with a quality ending.

Summer of Night
By Dan Simmons
My favorite book. It's Stand By Me meets the supernatural.

My favorite book. It's Stand By Me meets the supernatural.
quote:
Set in Elm Haven, Illinois, in 1960, Summer of Night recounts its five pre-teen protagonists' discovery that eerie, terrifying events are unfolding in the Old Central School. Operatives, including a dead soldier; giant worms with rows of sharp, serrated teeth; the animated corpse of a deceased teacher; schoolyard bullies; the driver of a rendering truck; their school teacher, and the principal of the school, serve a centuries-old evil that seeks to be reborn in their time — and in their town. It is only by banding together that the pre-teens can hope to defeat the monstrosity before it destroys them, their friends, their families — and, possibly, the world.
