"Salem's Lot" by Stephen King. I just re-read this recently and it's as good and scary as I first remembered it. It's one of his earliest books and one of his best, about vampires in a small New England town. I highly recommend it.
Happy reading to you! :-)

Cujo, Misery, Needful Things, The Stand, The Green Mile, The Night Room, They are all good books. And let face it you can't go bad with a Stephen King book or his sons book Heart shaped box. All good. Any James Patterson book. Dean Koontz. Kim Harrison, They are all good authors. But you should really find one that you can connect to.

Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It is about a distant time in the future when there are no books allowed but a depressed middled aged fireman that is very bored with his life starts to read with the help of a very weird girl. Well anyways they find out he is reading and that's when all of the crap starts to hit the fan. I forgot to metion that in the time of the book if you are caught with a book(s) then it is the firemans job to burn them. Lets just say they end up burning more than that.

anything James Patterson, any of the series by Kay Hooper, the mystery series that is, John Saul books, if you like horror and the supernatural, Mary Higgins Clark, for a slower paced more classic mystery.
