Are you thinking of the same thing because it was it's own book, not a story in another one

Its so hard to pick favorites but some would be:

City Infernal by Edward Lee
The Book of a Thousand Sins by Wrath James White
Letters from Hades by Jeffrey Thomas
Slob by Rex Miller

Really anything by these authors, they don't disappoint.

Best Book

Salems Lot (Stephen King) is one of my all time favourites, it's a little dated but stands the test of time.

Other than my father, Alvin Schwartz is probably the man most responsible for my love of horror stories. I used to check out his book, In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories constantly from the library when I was a little kid. I then picked up the whole Scary Stories collection during our schools book sale. Both books were a lot scarier than you would think for the age groups they were meant for. If I still had them I would read them again to this day.

Great pick, brought back a lot of memories.:D

Favorite horror book

It's a tough one but I really do like Salems Lot by Stephen King. The TV version was pretty good with David Soul but not as good as the book.

Cabal by Clive Barker
The Unloved by John Saul
Funland by Richard Laymon

The last 2 are my favourite authors and I haven't really read a bad book by them yet :)

I just finished a collection of stories by Ambrose Bierce. He wrote some very creepy stories, especially some of his Civil War stories like Chickamauga, that is one chilling and sick story. I loved it. He had a weird sense of humor, in one of his stories it starts out, "One does not always eat what is on the table." He was referring to a corpse on a dissecting table. Cool stuff.

Honorable mention go to Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice, though I would not really call it horror, it is more drama, and to The Masquerade Of The Red Death Trilogy by Robert Weinberg but again this is more a fantasy adventure than horror.
Love Salem's Lot by Stephen King but am enjoying a book by an indie author called Solomon Strange. Have you heard of him before?
