Can books be scary?

I have read a bunch of Lovecraft's short stories and didn't find them that scary, except maybe ''The Temple'', although I think it was more evocative and suspenseful rather than scary, that was also my favorite Lovecraft story.
The only time Lovecraft gave me something resembling a jump scare was when I read how he named his cat in ''The Rats in the Walls'', it was so out of nowhere lol.<{vega}>

I actually haven’t read most of his stuff, but I actually found the Rats in the Walls sufficiently creepy to be perfectly honest.
