Scary, no. Nauseating, yes - Stephen King's "It" made me want to chunder. Not the "horror" bits, but the depraved way in which the six kids kept Pennywise down the first time. Five eleven-year-old boys taking turns gang-banging a girl the same age.
I originally stopped reading Clive Barker's "The Great and Secret Show" because I got too scared. I eventually finished it. I like it a lot. I recently reread it and it wasn't so scary this time.
Some of Shirley Jackson's short stories and novels are quite unsettling to me and creep me out.
