I need some horror suggestions that are not Stephen King. ?
I’m reading The Birthing house, it’s supposed to be ‘the scariest thing since The shining’!!
Is it any good? It barely has 2-1/2 ⭐️ on goodreads
A bit slow to start but I’m half way through and I’m gripped, I’ve never read the shining so I can’t compare but there are definitely some scary bits!
Bird Box!! ?
I read that one this month actually! I gave it 4 stars. ?
What the Night Knows by Dean Koontz.
James Herbert, Blake crouch
Lords of Salem
Graham Masterton!
Suicide forest
Books by Richard Laymon.
Dean Koontz
F
Joe Hill. Heart shaped box
Currently reading this one ???
I loved this book.
I’m enjoying it!
This is on my tbr list! Thank you!
Shirley Jackson – The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle
I read We Have Always Lived in the Castle last year! It was pretty good.
Really any Joe Hill books
Does Joe Hill count when he’s Stephen Kings kid?
Bird box
I haven’t read any of Joe Hill’s books yet but I know I need to. And I actually read Bird Box this month! I gave it 4 stars. ?
Of course! Two completely different authors with two totally different styles of writing.
??♀️ to me they have the exact same writing style.
@Kira
Your opinion is your opinion but the majority would argue against that. ??♀️
@Kira ok, mature. ?
Afraid by Jack Kilborne. I second Blake Crouch. Also, Dismember by Daniel Pyle
I love Japanese horror.
Dean Koontz, Michael Crichton, Robin Cook.
I love Koontz!
Love Michael Crichton!
I’ve read most of Robin Cook also. He does medical / surgical thrillers
If you like psychological thrillers I would recommend False Memory by Dean Koontz
Ania Ahlborn, Jack Kilborn, Nick Cutter, Grady Hendrix
Dean Koontz
James Herbert the magic cottage
Karin Slaughter
Ah crap I guess I should have said other than Dean Koontz too. This is my Dean Koontz collection. lol.
Dean Koontz
I myself am not a Stephen King fan. Movies ok,but hard to get into his books
Which books of his have you read? Cuz there are quite a few I don’t like. But then there are some I find incredible.
Tried Rose Red and a few others my ex mother in law lent me. I always hear people say it’s hard to get through the first few chapters then it gets good. I have to be caught from beginning
I’m not familiar with that one. You should try The Green Mile or Pet Sematary if you ever get the chance. Those are my personal favorites of his. ?
Love the movies. I always want to give him a second chance he is a very talented man
Edgar Allen poe
I’m not much of a King fan to be honest, but I loved all Dean Koontz’s earlier novels which were more horror than they seem to be now.
Rogue Mountains by Joshua Tarquinio
Unknown by @Phil..x
Graham masterton – the spirit
Tamara Thorne. Start with Haunted and you’ll be addicted. So good!

So sad I am this many comments in and no one said Clive Barker
James Herbert
John Saul
Dean Koontz
Anne Rice
Clive Barker
John Saul
House of Leaves
This book was difficult. It really is up to you how you read that book. The crazy layouts are a comment on what is going on in the book at any given time. When he wants you to read fast he puts single words on pages. When he wants you to feel frustration he gives you a wall of text about some seemingly irrelevant fact. The confusion your feeling as a reader is supposed to mirror the characters confusion in the story. You thought you were opening a normal book just like the Navidson family thought they bought a normal house. I am still trying to get through the dang book a year later. And I can normal complete a book I. A fe days
H.P. Lovecraft
I quite like Amy cross

John Saul
