I'll have to second (or third) Clive Barker. Normally I'd recommend Stephen King, but you said you're already well-versed in his work.

I agree with you all about salem's lot - it was my first king book. Definitely read the stand - tis a great yarn - not a true horror but my favourite one.
Thanks for suggestions all - have already tried to find a couple of the titles in local bookshop but not in stock, but will bare in mind all recommendations. Thanks again! |

Great horrors
To me I personally think that King and rice are a waste of time, so dont read them. to me a good Horror as to have blood gore and death in it and maybe even alittle mystery. Take for example Laural K Hamilton: Anita Blake Vampire hunter (ie Exicutioner) you get not only blood, gore, death, coruption but you even get sex, and dry humor, Hamilton has got to be my favorite author.
But some other good authors wood be as listed: 1.John Sual 2.S.Whitely 3.Dean Knootz 4.And if you like vampire stories and you like young authors try Amelia Atwater Rhodes also if you like real crime storys that are real scary try 'Helter Skelter' which was written by Vincent Bugliosi this book is about the Charles Manson, I also like the book called 'In Cold Blood' cant think of the author, but it is a great book, Have fun reading M.E.R

Authors
Fantastic! Glad I could be of service . . . can't wait to hear what you think about the rest of them!
Heck, I might as well mention that -- if you don't mind something that's "dark" but not quite horror (I guess it would best be classified as a "suspense" novel) -- my own MIDNIGHT RAIN is scheduled for mass-market publication this August. It'll be out from Leisure Books, the same publisher behind most of Simon Clark's U.S. releases (i.e., DARKNESS DEMANDS, VAMPYRRHIC, STRANGER). Check it out . . . . Sorry for the shameless self-promotion. Now back to your regularly-scheduled message board. J.N. http://members.tripod.com/~NEWMANATOR/index.html |
