You might look for the genre "quiet horror," as named by the late
Charles L. Grant (whose works I never found all that scary, nor, alas,
all that memorable).

I'm a total scaredy-cat and not looking forward to reading horror titles but realize I do need to read a few to broaden my knowledge base. Any suggestions of good reads for someone who doesn't like horror - "tame" horror, if there is such a thing? Our class requires that they be adult books (no YA or children's titles), and they must be novel-length. Thanks!
