See if you can get one of the books by Ray Bradbury. He is famous for fantasy short stories. I have just read one about a motorway that's going thru a cemetary and all the people have to dig up their ancestors to be moved to a new one. An old girl in her sixties has to dig up her fiancee of when she was 20 and he was 23. She takes the metal coffin home first and opens it to find his body still young compared with her wrinkled body........
There is a good twist in the story.

My absolute favorite horror novel... Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hell House". (Great... great book!!). Some other good ones... Stephen King's "Salem's Lot", Clive Barker's "Books of Blood", Joel Rosenberg's "The Ezekiel Option" and for a hauntingly scary and sad book... an ultimate read... Nevil Shute's "On the Beach".

Did you read Dreamcatcher? That kept me awake and afraid! How about Cell? That was quite scary too! Stephen King is the master of horror! I love his stuff!

Try The Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. He's Stephen King's son and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Its a ghost story that will rock you.

You have to read "The Woman In Black" by Susan Hill. It's a classic Victorian ghost story. The book is scary and, there's a line at the end of the book that still gives me goose-bumps at night! Read the book, then watch the film. I promise you - it is very scary! (If you like that sort of thing).

When I was a bit younger I used to read books by Christopher Pike. 'Remember me' 'Weekend' 'Chain Letter' and many more.... They were thrilling and chilling with a twisted end. Im sure there was a trilogy also called 'Final Friends'.
Talking about it now makes me want to read them all over again...I wonder if it will fascinate me as it did then.

Another vote for House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Scary is only the start of it.

Try Dean Koontz. Once you start reading his books you can't keep them down till you turn the last page. Quite an intriguing writer.
