Must Read Horror Novel's (GA inside)

pet sematary by King

Cirque du Freak: The Saga of Darren Shan. It has twelve books in total. If you are interested in Vampires and stuff. ;)

Clive Barker's books of blood are good. :)

Stephen King's "IT" it's pretty good.

Oh yeah and then there's Koji Suzuki's Ring/Spiral/Loop series

Not particularly horror, but Richard Matheson has really good creepy books, "I am Legend" is a MUST

Other titles "A Stir of Echoes", "Hell House"

"The Girl Next Door" by Jack Ketchum

I also agree with those who recommended "IT" and "Ring", great reads.

I'm not to well versed in horror, but Leviathan Wakes is a great sci fi novel with elements of horror all over the place.

The book version of Exorcist is actually really good.

From my recent reading I can reccomend The Long Walk by King. Not your everyday horror but this book should stay with you long after reading this. Also The Girl Next Door by Ketchum. Even harder than The Long Walk.

Keep in mind that this books aren't 'light' and you shouldn't approach them as a joke, or a adventure to see some bad things happening to people. As always I will sugest a little faith in your bros - don't check reviews, because they might destroy some fun. I prefer my books being a mystery for me from first page.

EDIT: I guess you have read that already but I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is a always a good choice

You Sir have good taste. I have read every single book, novel, poem and article written by Lovecraft and Poe.
Speaking about Lovecraft, you may want to try reading Ramsey Campbell, especially his Cthulhu Mythos tales from the early '60s.

Grimm's fairy tales?
Not exactly horror, but sometimes it's kinda
It's like disney but it's cruel & scarier

• Stephen King - It's true that not all of his books are great. I recommend you to read Gerald's Game, Dolores Claiborne, Christine, Just After Sunset.
• Dean Koontz - I liked The Bad Place, Midnight, The House of Thunder.
• John Saul - Suffer the Children, Comes The Blind Fury. He has a thing with dead children's ghosts.
• Serge Brussolo - Iceberg. It's kinda hard to find his books translated into English.
• Chuck Palahniuk - His books are more satire and dark comedy. You can give it a try and read Haunted (gets pretty disgusting) or Invisible Monsters.

Well, I couldn't read Stephen King's longer stories, but I read Four Past Midnight, and although I enjoyed most stories, I liked The Sun Dog a lot. The story was amazing, and had a few twists. It isn't long, but it's worth the time.
