Hellbound Heart is awesome! I'm actually finishing that up pretty soon.
Read any Lovecraft? Always a classic....
Books of Blood anthology by Clive Barker are rad if you like Hellbound Heart.

If you liked The Shining you should really explore Stephen King more (especially his earlier work). Check out Salem's Lot, The Stand and Rage those are some of my favourites of his.

There is a local bookshop where I live that regularly throws out worn and old books in a free bin. I stopped by there and scored some Stephen King books.

I found The Shining, Carie, Skeleton Crew, The Talisman, and a couple more I can't quite remember. I'm going to see what I can get later this weekend.

That's pretty rad. Keep your eyes open for a copy of Rage (it might have the name 'Richard Bachman' instead of King on it though, because of his old pen name).

It's one of the books in "The Bachman Books" which you're far more likely to find than a copy of rage.

Alright, it's a bit of a gamble with the free bin. Last time I was there I found Letters from the Earth swimming in a sea of Anne Coulter and Bill O'Reilly hardbacks. I'll probably search for that book when I get payed, I can probably get it for around three dollars, they're very reasonably priced.
