I want to read something spooky... not too terribly disturbing, but something to creep me out.
Any ideas?! :confused:

Stock up on Stephen King...He builds atmosphere quite nicely...If King is a bit too long-winded or descriptive for your liking, try Bentley Little (He's pretty much 'Stephen King Lite')

Been reading some Bentley Little lately and I agree.
Have you read much Poe or Lovecraft?
Robert McCammon is also pretty good.

Try 'The Music of Eric Zann' by Lovecraft. It's a personal favorite of mine.

Try "The Club Dumas" by Arturo Pérez- Reverte. That's the book "The Ninth Gate" is based on.

Have you read his son's book, Heart Shaped Box? It was pretty good.

Good suggestion, I thought it was worth a read. I prefer his collection of short stories though, 20th Century Ghosts.

Moon of the Wolf by Leslie H. Whitten. I recommended it to Nella a few weeks ago. Expertly written, solidly crafted, exciting. I suspect its out of print so check a used book store if you're interested.

And I hear THE PINES is pretty good.

What I've read so far by Richard Laymon is awesome.
Endless Night is the first one I had ever read.
Edge of your seat horror.
But I recommend the good old classics for true creepy stories.
