>A beast is attacking you right now! Be terrified!
A fictional book will never be as scary as real life. Even if the literature acutely describes the horrors of a bipedal lion with crossbow arms storming out of your closet, the reader has no obligation to attempt to resolve that situation. Especially if the book has 400 more pages left in it.
If that monster really attacked, the victim would be constrained by the effects of time, adrenaline, physiological limitations, and the lack of future knowledge. Factors like that are what contribute to the response we consider horror. (That's also why films and video games evoke a stronger horror response. They incorporate more of those factors in a time-sensitive setting.)
If you really want to be spooked by a book, read about real tyranny and death. Consider how many of your high school classes could fit in the estimated victims of your favorite genocide. Find a book on serial killers, medical foul-ups, or unpredictable/uncurable maladies.
The threat of insanity is another fear that literature could effectively tap into, but I've never seen it effectively done.

I used the word "effectively" twice in the same sentence.
Shame on me.
