Yup, that's proper scared! I piled things on top of The Shining for exactly the same reason. I remember one of the things that creeped me out most - Danny looking at the hose, feeling uneasy, and the hose falling off. Why? It's never explained. And technically nothing happens. That's real-world creepiness.

ETA: I just glanced at the bookburning thread and am amused to find that several people seem to have hated this same book.
