Any genre of story...horror, sci-fi, etc...it just needs to be utterly terrifying.  The kind of book you read, and it makes you double check to make sure your feet/hands aren't hanging off the side of the bed.

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem is one of the creepiest, most unsettling books I've ever read.

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill.

The Off Season by Jack Ketchum
The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum

Jack Ketchum has become my go to author for horror as of late. Very gory and creepy.

Rats By James Herbert

IT by Stephen King
Salem's Lot By Stephen King
Revival by Stephen King (somewhat of a trippy book but good)
The Shining

Coma Hell by Kevin Wimer
Kevin Wimer also has a few short stories that are really good. Some are in anthologies with other authors who are also really good.

Short Stories -
Knock Knock Who's There
The House
Darkness of Guilt

Anthologies -
Crossroads in the Dark Book 2 (I believe if you click the Kindle version you can read most if not all of his story) Title of story is The Game
Crossroads in the Dark Book 3 Title of the story Boogieman
Crossroads in the Dark Book 4 Title of the story Vacancy (This one just came out I think. I think its in both print and eBook)

If you like action (off topic) check out Justice by Kevin Wimer

The Funhouse by Dean Koontz
Phantoms by Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz has a book and I can't remember the title that I really liked. Its about a kid and a man being chased across country in a car. The guy chasing them is a stalker. Really good book. I will try and find the title. I thought it was Chased or something like that but I can't seem to find it.

Despite his politics, his books scared the hell out of me.  
Salem Lot was scary, I read that in the army and didn't want to go to the can because it was dark long hall.
