You have quite the appropriate username. I must warn you that if you're looking for "scary", you might be disappointed. However, because you asked, these are the titles that I can wholeheartedly recommend:
Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville
Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs
Sanatorium under the sign of the Hourglass by Bruno Schulz
Oyasumi Punpun by Inio Asano (translation: "Goodnight Punpun." This one is actually a manga series. If you've never read manga before, check this one out. You won't be disappointed.)
Wieland by Charles Brockden Brown
Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky (I have a bit of a personal attachment to this one for reasons that may seem obvious)
Memoirs of my Nervous Illness by Daniel Paul Schreber (This one was recommended by one of my readers, and I'm very glad I added it to the rotation)
Dog Soldiers by Robert Stone
We are Legion by Dennis E. Taylor (a bit of science fiction fantasy that really makes you question the concept of identity)
The Masks of Time by Robert Silverberg
Tales of 1,001 Nights, author(s) unknown
A few other authors and stories I would recommend:
Philip K. Dick;
The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler;
Patricia Highsmith;
James Lee Burke;
Jorge Luis Borges;
William Gibson;
Dashiell Hammett;
Haruki Murakami;
Charles Baudelaire;
Ambros Bierce;
Nikolai Gogol;
Alberty Camus;
Nathaniel Hawthorne;
M R James;
H G Wells;
J G Ballard;
Thomas Ligotti;
That's about all I can think of right now, but I think it's a pretty good place to start.
Alina was reading this book: https://www.amazon.com/Ceasornicarul-Nuvela-Romanian-Anna-Erishkigal/dp/1540619850

So, what do you write? Do you know, there are author's writing novellas and selling kindle versions for $.99 on Amazon? It's awesome, and some of them are not bad at all.
Take Andrew Mayne, for example. He's basically writing adventure stories in the vein of Sherlock Holmes, and selling them for $1. About 90-100 pages each, it seems like a great medium for a budding writer. Beats the hell out of waiting months and months for a rejection letter from Asimovs or wherever else you're trying to send your writings.
It's the Company series by Kage Baker.
Start with The Garden of Iden.
in short. I'm a big fan of genre fiction. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, urban paranormal romance, all that jazz. Game of Thrones as I was reading it basically billed itself as this Fantasy Epic. Now I went into this before the show started.. the summer before so the buzz I had was just from book readers who regarded it as a beloved series. I read it and I kept waiting for the fantastic elements to appear. It opened with these special dire wolves after a preamble scene which hinted at a greater fantastic enemy to come. And the entire book just never delivered. I was four chapters past it and still expecting Sansa's wolf to show up and come back to life, because clearly those wolves were going to play an important part on the family's journey. Nah. I finished the book still in this "waiting" mindset.
After finishing I did something I don't often do. I said no. I'm a completionist. I try to finish the series I read. Notable exceptions include the Wheel of Time (simply because I don't want it to end.. it's that... BIG to me). And other series I've won on GoodReads but only have the first book and it's difficult to obtain the others for whatever reason. But Game of Thrones is maybe one of two book series that I've deliberately stopped reading. The other was just horrific. So bad it's made me afraid to try free Amazon books and I've had some of my best books have been from free Amazon.
it's contemporary/mythic/historical fantasy, not medieval, but two of my three protagonists (Adam and Eve) in the Fate of the Gods trilogy die every 100 years and have to start all over again in their next lives. Eve starts getting MIGHTILY sick of it, particularly after the events of book two, and Adam isn't thrilled either, for his own reasons. The third protagonist is Thor, and he's just normally immortal, but it weighs on him, too.
so it isn't the same as what you're looking for, but it might be similar enough to be interesting?
Have you read Monique Martin's Out of Time series? IMO no one will be as awesome as DG is at weaving a story like Outlander, but this series is good. Out of Time is really more of a time travel romance with a paranormal complication , but I'd recommend it and see if you like it.
PS: Outlander is awesome and you have great taste. :-)
It reminds me of The Lord of The Sands of Time

Btw, this reminds me of a book I read last year titled Unhappenings
The book was really good, and just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. :) It's about a guy that goes through his life living one day to the next and not knowing if things will just "unhappen." One example in the book is that he wrote a paper on quantum time theory, or something like that, and got really good praise for his work. The next day he came in to class and the professor reprimanded him and accused him of plagiarizing work that was published some years prior, like the professor wouldn't notice. I'm totally not doing this book justice in my explanation, but I don't want to give away any of the good stuff. At risk of giving away a major plot point, [Spoiler](/sp "the major constant in his 'unhappenings' is one woman, who seems to show up to fix things that go wrong. It's eventually learned that she's his daughter") ... ahhhh I can't say any more, just read it!

It's a newer release but certainly worth a look if you like Outlander - Shadow of the Savernake by Jane Hackett - http://amzn.to/2zAjSmF
I actually prefered it to Ourlander (although Outlander was great too!)
