I don't scare easily, but I was pleasantly surprised to be a little on edge reading Dean Koontz's Midnight.
Beowulf author unknown isn't horror but it is an excellent read. Grendel is my favorite monster.
True crime should scare the shit out of you, so I recommend picking up a book at your library about any crazy you want to know about.

Well, there are just so many to choose from but here are just a few of my favourites.
  • The shining (Stephen King)
    Salem's lot (Stephen King
    Dracula (Bram Stoker)
    Book of dead things (Anthology with some new interesting talents)
    The dead will inherit the earth (Thom Olausson)
    Books of blood 1 & 2 (Clive Barker
    The dark tower (excellent tale by Stephen King, mesmerizing)
    Haunting Ghost Stories (an anthology with the old masters such as Poe and Lovecraft

...as I said there are a lot more to mention.

Check out the dead will inherit the earth at amazon, it contains short horror stories that evidently were deemed too extreme.

This is an absurd and funny kind of horror, but I thoroughly enjoyed "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk (writer of 'Fight Club'). I read somewhere that people have actually passed out and thrown up during some of his public readings of this book.

If you're looking for perverse weird stuff, I cannot stress enough the output of Raw Dog Screaming Press and Eraserhead Press or...you could wait a couple days and pick up my book. This is not free advertising.

They are both good, the book the dead SHALL inherit the earth are a zombie story, need I say more?
The other book, the dead WILL inherit the earth are a collection of short horror stories.
Confusing with titles as close to one another...
