What has been your experience reading horror/comedy books?

I've read quite a bit of fiction and a little bit of non fiction, but I've never read a book that's actually supposed to be scary or funny. For those who've read horror/comedy books, do those books actually scare you / make you laugh?

I've myself gotten teary eyed towards the end of few books, but I feel that is not as strong of an emotion as compared something that scares you or makes you chuckle.

PS. I would love some horror/comedy book reccos
