Do we have any horror or crime readers here? Which genre do you prefer?

Oooooooh weeeee. I like both. I prefer crime. I like 1/2 of Stephen King. I like his crime stuff like Mr. Mercedes series, but not The Stand, It, etc. I do love The Shining and Pet Cemetery though.
I only read horror if it is proposed as being true such as The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Same with true crime such as Helter Skelter.
I read a lot of crime, the late Elmore Leonard being my favorite. I liked horror more when I was younger. When I’m so much closer to death, stories like Final Destination are more like a preview of coming attractions than I’d like to experience.
I love true crime. If I read a really scary fictional story, I want it to be something they could be real.
I think I'll stick to my normal stuff. I'll let you guys have the creepy stuff. I can't watch or read any of that. I'd have nightmares for the rest of my life!
I am newer to horror and have been slowly working through Stephen king Paul tremblay. Michael DA Clarke is also awesome anybody have any other recommendations for me?
A friend has been reading the Bosch novels and loves them. I started and just finished No. 3, which is the best so far. Since we watched the series, I vividly picture Harry as I’m reading.
