"Killer Fiction" by Gerard Schaefer. Thinly disguised retellings of his own serial murders. I read about half and got so generally disgusted with the stories, I couldn't finish it.
I've also read "The Rape of Nanking". It needs to be taught to all Japanese children so it doesn't happen again.

The written word has rarely crept me out, I'm afraid. But as a teenager I was genuinely put out by 'The Exorcist', the page where she hears something in the attic? Rats or something? Not that scary really but the words kind of chilled me, just that little segment.

 'Penpal' by Dathan Auerbach creeped me out. I read it in the dark, as usual, to get the maximum effect.

Salem's Lot by Stephen King. I read it when I was young and it scared me so much I had problems sleeping for days. Same for The Exorcist.

I've also read "The Rape of Nanking". It needs to be taught to all Japanese children so it doesn't happen again. It should be taught to Japanese adults as well, since there is still considerable prejudice on the part of the Japanese population to pretend that the atrocities never happened.

Technically, a short story within a book: H.G. Wells' 'The Door in the Wall and Other Stories'; the particular tale being 'The Cone', a story of a man's half-intentional, half-accidental murder of his wife's lover in an especially horrible manner. The story disturbed me so much that it was years before I could bring myself to read it again.
Another short story/novella that fits: 'Lazarus' by Leonid Andreyev.

Admittedly I only got halfway through it before I had to take it back to the library, The Stand by Stephen King, it's not the whole plague wipes out 99% of the population and good vs. evil thing, it's all the little details of how he leaves no bodily function left unturned with the terminally ill who don't know it, and what happens when there are no doctors, no hospitals, no electricity, etc.

I don't read a lot of horror, and I can't really remember a non-fiction work that creeped me out, but one short story I downloaded for my Kindle was Algernon Blackwood's "The Willows" that got to me. Something about canoeing down a particularly desolate part of the Danube and finding a supernatural presence on an island gave it a lot of atmosphere.

I found "Ghost Story" by Peter Straub a bit creepy.
