Get into an author named @Jae she’s really good! Also The Deep by Nick Cutter is one of my favorites. And if you’ve not read Joe Hill, he’s Stephen’s son and an excellent writer, NOS4ATU is my personal favorite.
Thank you ??
Any time! It’s pretty much all I read. I would suggest Jae’s book Crone, it just released yesterday and is really incredible. If you ever want more recs you know where to find me lol ?

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill
Salem’s Lot is the scariest Stephen King next to The Shining.
The film was awesome I am a big vampire fan so it was one to definately watch but gonna take a look at the book because I cant remember much of the film ?
My favorite!!!
The book was soooo much better. It was terrifying. I couldn’t even look at the cover without nightmares.
I just finished “It”, loved it!
Seen both films so excited to start the book ?
Off season by Jack Ketchum
You’re reading a goodie now! Delores Claiborne is great, too. Not so much scary as intense.
Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
The Nell West series by Sarah Rayne
Moon dance by S. P. Somtow
everything Stephen King writes scares the crap out of me!! still read his books…..with the lights on!!
Aha brillant on third part of The Shining I love it so far gonna read doctor sleep after?
Suffer The Children and pretty much anything by King and Brom
Any king suggestions??
Salem’s Lot is my all time favorite, IT, Needful Things, Gerald’s Game. Anything from him truly lol. But those I really enjoyed. Suffer the Children really freaked me out, not by him but a great horror. ?
AGREED!!! Salems Lot!!! So scary I didn’t want to turn the pages. Most people don’t talk about that one but it’s a five star in horror along with Silence of the Lambs.
YES! It was my very first King book and it hooked me to life LOL!
Generally, in this genre books by John Saul.
Shutter Island
I just finished “The Hunger” by Alma Katsu and would definitely recommend.
I cant wait to start that one. I just bought it the other day
All Stephen King
Following
Definitely , Bird Box by Josh Malerman, if you have not read it.
Agreed. This book was one of the only ones that has ever really scared me.
NOS4A2
The Shining is the greatest. I also really liked It which I finished recently. No one does horror better!
Funny that no one has said anything about Stephen King’s “Sleeping Beauties. It is great
I’ve been wondering about that one. I’ve read so many mixed reviews.
Don’t know what to believe.
I am not a super fan of King’s, but this held my interest throughout
Hell House by Richard Matheson. Watchers by Dean Koontz. Short stories of Edgar Allan Poe. The Books of Blood Series by Clive Barker have some really good short stories
Watchers was amazing!!!
The Tell-Tale Heart.
Amityville Horror. I Am Legend. Beloved.
The lords of Salem by rob zombie/Brian evenson
Scary
The Dead by Mark E. Rogers.
Both The Deep and The Troop by Nick Cutter were awesome!
.
The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin!
@Chinelo
I’m not big into horror, but I loved Thr Shining. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is also fantastic.
The Shining WAS GREAT!
Forsaken by Andrew Van Wey
Bird Box

Ghost Story by Peter Straub
I will have to try it again. I was having an issue getting into the book so dropped it. I did like the movie.
Bird box by Josh Malerman
The Bird Box
When I read the Shining I had to stop after every chapter!
How was it compared to the movie? Curious because i loved Carrie and found the book to be almost word for word.
Anything written by Ania Ahlborn
Looooved the Shining!
I’m reading that right now and I just got Under the Dome to start too.
Scariest book series I ever read and would HIGHLY recommend are John Saul’s ‘The Blackstone Chronicles’
