Yes, I know exactly what you mean!

"The Scarlet Letter" Nathanial Hawthorne king of the great grandfather of New England sensibility in writhing.

"The Minister's Black Veil" Nathaniel Hawthorne

"Rodger's Version" John Updike
"The Witches of Eastwick" - John Updike - much better than the film
"Couples" - John Updike

"She's Come Undone" - Wally Lamb
"I Know this Much is True" - Wally Lamb

"'Salem's Lot" - Stephen King - I think this was his first and it might be his best
