What Horror Books do you treasure?
 

I like their writing Stephen King, Clive Barker, H.P. Lovecraft, & Guillermo Del Toro.

Treasure? I guess the ones I treasure are the small press publications. Or books that are hard to find/not very well known. On of my favorite books is The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger by Stephen King, but I do not treasure it because you can get it at any bookstore.

Regardless of where you can get it, The Gunslinger is one of the greatest books ever written. The series is one of the greatest series ever written...

Yeah, except for the last book. No spoilers, but even Stephen King has said he wants to make a big change to it that is mostly why its such a disappointing book.
I just ordered a 1989 version of The Gunslinger. I believe it was better than the reedited one he did and I've since lost my original copy from way back.

Yeah, it almost became hard to follow in that last book. And the ending... it hurt my head. I cant wait for someone to finally adapt it. I would love to see it come to life on screen.

I find it unlikely it will be adapted since the recent attempt failed.

It didn't fail, it just shifted, again.

Anything by Robert McCammon: Swan Song, Wolf's Hour, Stinger, Boy's Life, They Thirst, to name but a few.

They Thirst is my favorite vampire book!

It's a classic. Las Vegas in a sand storm with vampires running amock. Loved it.

The Howling by Gary Brandner and Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells are two of my veeeery favorite books. They're the kind of books that if they were within easy access I would own multiple copies with different editions. (I do this with Call of the Wild and White Fang, non-horrors but two of my favorite books.)
Also love Thomas Harris' Hannibal series.

Moreau is my favorite Wells work and a book I've re-visited several times. Great choice, Roiffalo.

Why thank you, Repo'd! None of the movies do the book justice, although they are still entertaining to watch.

I didn't know Howling was based on a book. Is the book better than the movie?

Hell yes. The first movie and Howling IV: Original Nightmare actually are based off the book. I have no idea where the other movies come from. So far none of them are like the books (going on what I've read about 2 and 3 as I haven't been able to get my hands on them, and what Howling films I've seen... I think I'm missing two).

Anyway I recommend checking it out. 8)
