William W. Johnstone writes a few. I’m not really into horror but I read a couple of his and really liked them. Rockabilly Hell and Rockabilly Limbo. He also has a series “The Devil’s Kiss” being the first. I haven’t read any of those but they sound good.
Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill!
He’s Stephen King’s son. I think he is better than his dad. ?
@Dusti me too!
Hell House
@Dana love that movie. Never knew it was a book. Just bought it. Many thanks but I blame you for my book shopping bill lol.
@April I mean Hell House by Richard Matheson not The Legend of that is a movie. Scariest book I ever read.
@Dana I was researching it last night I think the movie is based on the book. Richard Matheson even wrote the script for The Legend of Hell House! Can’t wait to read it and see how it differs, since the book is usually much better!
@Dana BTW, thanks again for the great suggestion.
@April happy reading!
Blake Crouch has written several good ones.
No exit
Final Girls by Riley Sager
Richard Laymon is good!
I don’t do horror but I understand Willow Rose is the “queen of scream”
Ghost Story by Peter Straub. Or The Shadow of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz, although it is not “ghost story” but very suspenseful..
Origin by Jack Kilborn/ J.A. Konrath..not sure which name it’s under.
He has many books, that one is more paranormal horror.
Afraid is horror but in a more real way. Pretty graphic.
Graham Masterton has some good ones. Mirror is one of my favorites.
Intensity by Dean Koontz…also a more real horror.
Hell House by Richard Matheson
Ghost Story by Peter Straub
It may not be considered horror, but John Ringo’s Black Tide series is about the zombie apocolypse.
Verity by Colleen Hoover
Winters people by jennifer McMahon is great read and if course any Stephen kings ?
Cujo.
The Fireman or NOS4A2 by Joe Hill. (Stephen Kings son)
Thank you. Rec. NOS4A2 from Amazon yesterday.
The Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill was super creepy
Misery, Stephen King , The Fog James Herbert
Joe Hill and Mira Grant are my favorites. And of course King.
Try John Saul
@Samantha Love reading John Saul’s books!
You all get me in so much trouble…love it lol.
Clive Barker: The Books of Blood Vol 1 – 3, The Hellbound Heart, and Cabal.
Anything by Don Winslow or J. D. Barker ?
The best recent horror novels I’ve read are:

ZONE ONE by Colson Whithead
I Remember You by Yrsa Siggurdardottir
The Anomaly by Michael Rutger
The Elementals by Michael McDowell

And one more I meant to add…
The Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates
@Jessica ooo YES love Darcy Coates
Stephen King…Carrie, Pet Cemetery, Cujo
“Fantasticland,” by Mike Bockoven. It’s not Supernatural, but it’s really good. It’s “Lord of the Flies” of millennials at a theme park like Disneyland, after a hurricane. It’s really, really good!
Not really my favorite genre, but I took advantage of The Darkwater Bride by Marty Ross when it was offered as a free Audible Original a couple months back. WOW!
