Recommend a Horror book
Any recommendations? I'll start:
- "White Shark" a.k.a. "Creature" by Peter Benchley - "The Damnation Game" by Clive Barker - "Blue World" by Robert McCammon Just a few that few have probably read. Please don't make this into a list of the obvious. We all know "Salem's Lot", "The Shining" and "Jaws" are very good books. How about something you read that was good, but few have ever really heard of?

Three great books are Year Zero, The Descent and Deeper (Part 2 of The Descent) all by Jeff Long. I read a few books every week and these three stand out. He's written other books also but none close to these three.
The Descent has nothing to do with the movie with the same name.

Tick Tock - Dean Koontz
One of his more overlooked novels, but its awesome. Dies in the end (just like ALL Koontz books), but the plot is pretty straight forward and the characters are cool. Nice quick, light horror read - well worth checking out.

i have an author to recommend. brian keene. perhaps the best horror stuff i have read...ever.
his books include: the rising city of the dead dead sea dark hollow the conqueror worms ghoul terminal all of them are very good reads. i highly recommend them. i wouldnt dream of comparing him to anyone i have ever read but if i was forced to i would say a mash up of early king and koontz with a little robert laymon and bently little thrown in for good measure. i am in the middle of duma key by stephen king right now and it is pretty good. kings last couple of books (well..that i have read. i havent read liseys story yet) have been very good and remind me of some of his earlier stuff.
