The 56 Best Horror Books of All Time
Do yourself a favor: Don't read these horror books right before bedtime!


I've read just about a dozen of them and they were all quite good. Though one of the best, IMO, is definitely Thomas Tryon's The Other - I just happened to buy it one day back in the day when I was browsing paperbacks and I was not disappointed that I bought and read it. I also recommended it/lent it to several of my friends who also loved it.

I might've mentioned it here before, but the most horrific novel I've ever read is Off Season by Jack Ketchum.  I literally couldn't sleep after I finished it.  It's not for the faint of heart in the least little bit.  And the version I read was edited by the publisher, removing scenes that were more horrifying than what was in the initial printing.  An "author's cut" with the restored scenes came out in 1999, but I didn't get a chance to read it.
