Is there any genuinely scary horror fiction? There's horror fiction that'll make me squirm for all kinds of reasons, but fear isn't one of them, unless it's fear that over the page I'll read something truly gross. But that's not what I think of as scary.

I don't think I've ever found written fiction creepy scary [1]. I might enjoy a creepy atmosphere, say, which is why I like Lovecraft, but I've never found his work even slightly scary.

[1] One exception: I was reading an old MR James (I think) story and something happened that's completely non-scary, except it was an almost trivial something from a recurring dream I'd had as a kid, and seeing it in writing did creep me out l, and I had to put the book down. But if I told you what it was you'd have no idea why I thought it was scary. (Like the terrifying shaky video scene in Signs that has no reason to be even slightly scary - but it didn't work for everyone.)
