Staying away from the censorship/homosexuality issue, I will say that the #1 book on the 1990-2000 (actually a series) is probably the scariest thing I have experienced in entertainment media (books, video games, movies, tv [but excluding internet, there's things on the internet far scarier, but for different reasons]). It's not the stories, which are pretty much all "classic" ghost/folklore stories (things like the hook, various death premonitions, etc.), but the illustrations. To this day, some of the illustrations can freak me out. They are very eerie, black and white, surrealist, and totally creepy.
