"The Talisman" by Stephen King and Peter Straub is fantastic.

I have always been fond of The Shining

Man, a newspaper in my country relelases a book with their paper every Thursday (for a very cheap price of course, and the books are hardback) in an effort to get people to read more. In 2 weeks the book they're relelasing is The Shining. Definately picking that up.


Yeah, it's a pretty off setting novel, you should definitely give it a read.



Clive Barker's 'Books of Blood', Cabal, and Hellbound Heart (what Hellraiser movies were based on)

pretty short but freaky stuff. Poe and Lovecraft already named - also highly recommended

Very much so, that man is incredible.

 

Dracula is also a good option, and the shining, although tbh you might as well just watch the movie of the shining, it was pretty well done

Just read a book on real life serial killers.

It's scary because it's true.

I've already seen it, but I still wanna read the book, especially 'cause I'll soon have it in my collection.

Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft are by far the two best horror writers ever.

Read anything by either of them.
