Frank Perretti is like a Christian Stephen King
His book This Present Darkness scared me to death!
@Lynn fantastic! Thank you!
@David
Joe Hill is so much better than King. I love both of their things but Joe Hill is so great
Joe Hill! He’s Stephen King’s son. Heart Shaped Box is very creepy.
Following. I’m a king freak but I’ve read everything of his
Bentley Little
Lucinda Barry…

Try some of Terry Goodkinds new ones, The Girl in the Moon is awesome!!!
James Herbert!
Thank you all so much! I’m so excited to hit the store this weekend ?

Jeff Menapace
As another SK fan, authors I also enjoy are Tad Williams, Neil Gaiman and George R. R. Martin
As some other people have said, Joe Hill, his son, absolutely amazing! I would even say a bit better than Stephen King
John Saul! First book I read was called hellfire. it was a great book
Dean Koonz
Jack Ketchum
Robin Cook.
It’s not really “horror” fiction, but I’m a big fan of Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden series (Storm Front is the first). If you like Harry Potter, you’ll love the “grown-up” version of Dresden!
@Diane love Dresden series
Stephen King is amazing!
Clive Barker and Terry Goodkind
Jack Kilborn/ J.A. Konrath….his books are a step up in horror from King. *warning. Graphic violence and disturbing…try Afraid. It was my first and I loved it.
Bentley Little is really good
Dean Koontz, Douglas Clegg, Robert McCannon HP Lovecraft
Dean Koontz
as mentionned – Dean Koontz (not all of his – but most), Bentley Little… Peter Straub, J.D. Barker, Clive Barker has a few like King, Neil Gaiman has a few Kingish books. Shirley JAckson is an older books – but good horror stories. Anne Rice. Paul Tremblay has had a couple

I see lots of good suggestions..Love Robert McCammon,Bentlt Little,Clive Barker, all very different..but spooky!
Dean Koontz is my go to when I am out of king books. He is amazing
Peter Straub is great. He coauthored The Talisman with King.
Dean Koontz
Read anything by Willow Rose?
All of the Odd Thomas books are great (are they Deen Koontz – I can’t remember). The Odd Thomas movie was good. Too, but they can’t make anymore. No one could replace Anton Yeltsin.
Dean Koontz,
His son, Joe Hill. He is as good as his dad.
Dean Koontz
Did you try Joe Hill his son
Richard Laymon
Dean Koontz, John Saul, Clive Barker, research 1980’s horror book Carnival, author is Johnstone I believe and it’ll give you a ton of creepy books from the 80’s. My favorites! ?

Dan Simmons is good

Dean koontz is on the same line as Stephen king. Just not as wordy. You might want to start with Mr murder.
