Ten's tough. Some great picks already and a couple more I've been meaning to get to. Not much eye-rolling yet although I assume Doc included Ulysses because it gave him nightmares in school. It sure gave me some sleepless nights. And I still wake up screaming thinking I'm back at chapter one again. Anyway, here's my ten of the moment.
The Island of Dr Moreau - Wells Dracula - Stoker Frankenstein - Shelly Salem's Lot - King The Mask of the Red Death - Poe A Christmas Carol - Dickens Rebecca - Du Maurier Moonchild - Crowley House of Seven Gables - Hawthorne The Metamorphosis - Kafka

I thought we where supposed to mention things that where not already mentioned, if we can mention the same as others then off course both Dracula by Bram Stoker and Frankenstein by Mary Shelly have to be on my list, you can not have a list over the most influential horror books and not mention these two.
