If you're afraid of the dark...I heartily recommend NOT reading House Of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski.
I don't want to give the plot away, but there is an element of it which dwells on things which are just out of sight in the corner of your eye. If you have an active imagination, this will lead to you being able to walk around in broad daylight and still think there is something out to get you. Something which is JUST flitting out of sight behind your head. It's one thing to be afraid of the dark you can see, and can combat with electric light, it's another to know that there's something right. behind. your. head.
Right now.
If you turn quickly you won't see it, because it'll still be right behind you.
If you feel behind you it'll move out of the way.
But I'll bet you can still feel its presence behind you.

Sounds likea Wendigo, which followed Injuns out in the woods, but they could never turn quick enough to see the fucking thing.
