A Clockwork Orange.

I read it in high school, just picked it off the shelf for fun, and have no idea how they allowed it into the high school library of a private, Catholic all-girl school. Scared the crap out of me, on many levels.

Also, The Handmaid's Tale.

I don't usually read horror fiction. Some of the speculative/sci-fi stuff is scarier, IMO, than anything Stephen King could write.
