77 SHADOW STREET by Dean Koontz http://information.randomhouse.com/HS?a=ENX7CkR1RUUm8SA9MOBp1gLnGHxKQyNLQPcStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_HheFjplw6

Almost from the beginning, the grandeur of the Pendleton has been scarred by episodes of madness, suicide, mass murder, and whispers of things far worse. But since its rechristening in the 1970s as a luxury apartment building, it's been at peace. But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls, security cameras relay impossible images, phantom voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human figures lurk in the basement, and elevators plunge into unknown depths.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK (Movie Tie-in) by Susan Hill http://information.randomhouse.com/HS?a=ENX7CkR1RUUm8SA9MOBp1gLnGHxKQyNLX_cStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_HheFjplxB

Arthur Kipps is an up-and-coming London solicitor sent to a faraway town in the windswept salt marshes to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of a client, Mrs. Alice Drablow. Her house stands at the end of the causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but Kipps is unaware of the tragic secrets that lie hidden behind its sheltered windows. The routine business trip he anticipated quickly takes a horrifying turn when he finds himself haunted by a series of mysterious sounds and images: a rocking chair in a deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child's scream in the fog, and, most terrifying of all, a ghostly woman dressed all in black.
