Personally yes, some really do. But it's a different kind of scary to what I get from a film. Funnily enough I'd put Pet Semetary in the category of horror stories that I find genuinely frightening. But then, whatever else people might say about Stephen King, he's a horror writer that I'd say does scary better than almost anyone. Peter Straub's another one. On the other hand Poe's brilliant but I don't find his stories remotely frightening.
