There's one thing that has stuck with me for more than a decade (probably). It was a very short youtube video. It was just a man and women in bed back to back. After a second it pans to the woman's side of the bed and shes a scary looking monster demon lady. I think about it once or twice a week. Specifically when laying in bed with my lady and shes not facing me.I have no idea what its from. Youtube used to have alot of randomly terrifying content.

Creepy movie! Haven't read that book but I'll probably end up looking into it, love horror media.

If, as a kid, you were scared of something under your bed or in your closet, it's a good one.

I'm a big strong man now, I still get skeeved out by slightly open closets (all of the closets in my house are two folding door style, except my hall closets)

Same.

I can close a book and just verbalize myself that: "It's literally just a story." But books can get into one's head. :)
