Seveneves. I was looking at the moon for weeks, fearing what would happen if it broke apart.

Funny how nether The Shining or Dr. Sleep fazed me at all.
 
Does speculation count as fiction? In which case, it would probably be timeline of future events. Nothing like knowing that reality itself will cease to exist to get that existential dread in your step. I read this when I was 7 or 8, and I couldn't go to sleep because I'd have dreams of the sun exploding and visualizing what a lack of reality would feel like. True terror.
