The Keep and Midnight Mass by F. Paul Wilson
The Books of Blood (all six volumes) by Clive Barker

I'll stop there, but if you've not read any of these, check 'em out; you won't be sorry.

I loved The Stand also but I have to say - definitely - The Beast Within by Edward Levy
Review from Amazon:
Edward Levy's "The Beast Within" plays out like one of those great old Rod Serling "Twilight Zone" scripts. Levy, once declared to be the "2nd coming of Stephen King", writes in a gripping and visually effective style that brings the reader right down into the action.
The plot revolves around the loveless marriage of a socially backward couple. The ultra-religious husband is totally over-the-top in his beliefs about love, marriage, sex, and the woman's place in the home. His dowdy wife is left without any love or children from her fundamentalist husband. Their lives are turned completely upside down when a traveling salesman seeks their help with his car troubles and ends up bedding the wife. Caught in the act by the husband, the salesman soons finds himself locked in the basement for the rest of his life unless he can find someway to escape. After years of entrapment, the pitiful salesman becomes more beast than human and the book takes off from there.
If you are a fan of intense and violent horror, then you will enjoy "The Beast Within" and Levy's other great work, "Came A Spider". Both are terrific and extremely quick reads.

I thought "The List of 7" was the best or creepiest horror book i've read. The author is Mark Frost. The book has a very chilling ending. Unfortunately I don't think it's in print anymore, but the library probably has it.

The Shinning most definitely. The movie was lame compared to the novel.

Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" although its not his best book. His best is "The Stand," but its not a horror novel per se.
