I might be putting myself inline for coping some flack here by getting involved in a subject I'm really not all that familiar with, but from my, very casual, observation of this thread, there doesnt seem to be much from what I always considered to be the pioneers of horror fiction. I'm thinking along the lines of Beckford and . Skimming through the posts I havent even seen Ann Radcliffes name mentioned yet.
Why do you not mention some books by the authors you mention, everyone have different opinions on who was most influential in shaping the horror genre, I am looking forward to seeing your suggestions on what should be on the top 100 list.

I second the Hunchback Of Notre Dame, it is a great novel, and it definitely belong on a top 100 most influential horror books list in my opinion.
