Stephen King's It; Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; Dean Koontz's Darkfall; William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist. Who scares you?
What are your favorite classic or comtemporary scary books?
Well, I'm not quite sure this thread goes in here, but the story is actually kinda scary abd I can't think in anywhere else to place this. I was wondering if you've ever heard about this book called "The little girl who was forgotten by absolutely everyone (even the postman)" by Katy Towell. I...
Did anyone read this book by stephan king, I did, I thought it was really cool. I am still not sure if the car was evil, or if it was just a gateway opened between two opposit worlds by an evil man, the guy who drove the car to the gas station in the first place. I thought the small town life was...
Have you read any novel and/or short stories about any of these? (Apart from Bram Stoker's and Anne Rice books) I've found some that are very intresting, it's a trylogy so far, "A hunger like fire"(1), "Blood in, blood out"(2), "The marriage of virtue and viciousness"(3)<--this one is excellent!...
he's number 1.
i don't remember who wrote this, only that they were awesome, extremely vivid, and utterly terrifying, i only got halfway through the one about the warrior doll with the gold chain becasue i kept on seeing little doll warriors out of the corner of my eyes
Helooooooooo for alllllllllllll !! :) I bought a book called Classic Victorian & Edwardian Ghost stories.. .. It has many short stories of this specific period.. Some of them are boring but others are really pushing me to read further.. Most of them move in this manner; the family rent a new...
I'm yet to read a novel that has kept me up at night. Are there any truly frightening books out there?
In the late 70's or early 80's I read this horror novel and I cannot recall the title or author. I do remember that it's set out west somewhere and that the lead female character is a small town veterinarian. Anyway, a teenage girl has the ability to transform into a giant bird/monster and she goes...
Hi Years ago, I picked up a novel that I think was by Peter Straub but I may be mistaken. On the first page - a man, I think he's Native American, is watching a boy walk on the grass in front of a house that's fenced off. The boy disappears in front of him... That's all I can remember, it...
anybody else here like koontz? i just finished the face and i'm liking his books more every time i read them...
Who read the Tentant by Roland Topor? It's porbably my favirte book...and also the scariest I've read. Polanski also made a movie from it.
I'm not much into horror books or movies. I find it ridiculous and it almost never gives me a good scare. This books is the one that did. It's nothing spectacular, but it's chilling to me. It's about a group of children who are on their summer holiday. They live in a small American town with a...
To all lovecraftian fans: I think of writing imaginative detailed descriptions of the lovecraftian creatures (the Cthulhu mythos. All of them are here.) The website gives the name of the creature, its nickname and its summarized description. The question is: Did Lovecraft write a detailed...
It's been driving me crazy that I cannot remember it. I read it in the late 1980's. I believe the book was fiction but contained a decent amount of research and read as a true story, thus making an impression on the reader. A gentleman was in Haiti and was researching voodoo practices and...
I don't know if any of you are familiar with a stellar author called Don Gowan. I always thought he was British because of his breathtaking new book written with a new and deeper slant from the Vulgate about the life of Lancelot du Lac. It is called Knight of the heart and I never wanted to come...
I read a book years ago. It was a ghost story, about two sisters. Their names were Alarice and Consuelo. There was a parallel story about two younger sisters, one recuperating from a car crash that killed her family. She was becoming possessed by the spirit of Alarice. The ending was...
