Horror Books
 

I am going to the library to check out a book, and I wanna get a good Stephen King book that is not boring and gets right to the point (horror). Any suggestions plz?

I'd go for a James Herbert myself, but if you demand a King here are my favourites...

Night Shift (a good collection of short stories)

Misery

Firestarter

The Stand

Just make sure you avoid anything by Dean Koontz

theres a whole forum about horror books. but i suggest the shining im almost done and so far its my fav king book yet

Thing is people never respond to the posts on the book forum..Just check it out and while your there respond to some of my posts. I just finished Infernal Angel by edward lee id recommend that. Or the books of blood by barker. Or the Gunslinger by king. pm me if you want any more knowledge on books.

anything by Anton LaVey is great

Thanks yall. I got The Shining. :)

Anything by Richard Laymon. Good stuff!

HP Lovercraft good stuff, books of blood by Clive Barker

Lovecraft kicks ass!!!!!!!!

Is anyone here into Gothic Fiction???

Not really horror, but pick up something from Neil Gaiman. He rocks my socks.

I love the dark settings, and the "feel" of Gothic Horror...But I can do WITHOUT the romance that so often comes along with it...Anne Rice lost me after "Witching Hour"...By the time she got to "Lasher", she had already turned horror into Harlequin...and each subsequent novel thereafter, just kept going downhill...I don't like to mix horror and romance...I'm just not into the romantic crap at all...I like for my horror, to be horrifying:)

Bloodrayne, marry me! LoL


Now, trying to be serious... I must agree with all you said about Anne Rice... Only she lost me even before that, with The Queen of the Damned...


Romance... Well, what can I say... Though I'm not a big fan or romance myself, I like the way Gothic as a whole deal with it... Even romance becomes a kinda desperate, consuming thing, even though it has a tendency to save the day in the end...

White Gold rings, please...lol..
Actually I had sort of forgotten about "Queen Of The Damned"...Although...I can't imagine why:rolleyes:

"IT" is my favorite horror book of all time:cool:

What he said.

White gold is very good for me... We can start thinking about the party... :)

No party...Let's just keep it small...I like for things to be simple, uncomplicated;) :)

Im down for a Party.....I get the maddd discount on booze so all you lushes get ready for some fun times. now what are we celebrating

parties are fun!!

i suggest Misery (very great book) or The Green Mile

First of all, this is missplaced as a thread gets, and i hope it gets moved. That being said......

Whos party is this?Wedding?It has become apparent that I am the sole recipient of Bloodraynes affections no longer....


I'll come!!!:D Ill just hang out with AmarylandPsycho THEN!!!

Sorry folks, there will be no party, then... Everything to make her happy, you guys see... :0)

Now... Well, I'm not the only one with the "misplaced as a thread gets" lil problem on this board... LoL... By the way... Are you jealous, Arioch?

Ah, before I forget... Don't you guys just love weddings? :0)

You have a missplaced thread problem?? I dont see one in this forum:confused: hmmmm.. maybe AMK moved it..

And maybe just a bit jealous:p

Weird, I don't think he did...

Aw, sweet.

Awww...Marcos...You are just too sweet :)

Try King's Pet Semetary or Desperation. These contain a little less "mumbo jumbo" than many of his other books. If you're into mumbo jumbo (like me) the Stand is an amazing book.

Oh, dearest, you know you deserve no less than that...
