Gore and More discussion

Thought this would be an interesting topic to get started in regards to book collecting. What is on your horror shelf? Are any authors absolutely musts? What books or authors are your prized possessions?

ok, of course i have my Anne Rice shelf. She is my favorite. then i have my very special/love shelf. it contains: Ambrose Beirce x2, Arthur Machen, Poe, Dracula, Frankenstein, M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, my Hellboy comics, Richard Matheson I Am Legend collection, Fevre Dream The Last American VampireWe Sold Our Souls and a Shirley Jackson collection.

Rebecca really needs to be moved down there. it's currently at the top of my bookshelf.

Anne Rice, both the vampire books and the Witches of Mayfair series.

Several Stephen King.

A few Clive Barker.

Two by Austin Crawley.

Couple of Hunter Shea.

The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brookes.

House of Leaves, which I haven't read yet.

A selection of werewolf books, the best of which are the High Moor series by Graeme Reynolds.

Faerie Tale by Raymond E. Feist

A couple of James Herbert

The Classics Frankenstein and Dracula

Then the definition of what counts as Horror gets a little wobbly and there's some dystopian like Rick Yancey, a few anthologies, some dark fantasy, Ray Bradbury, Frank Tayell (writes the best zombie series), George R.R. Martin, Michael McDowell, Poe, John Updike (The Witches of Eastwick).

Oh and Brian Keene and Tim Curran. These two and Austin Crawley are my must read authors. I take a close look at anything new they put out. Currently reading The Cold by Rich Hawkins who looks like a very promising Horror writer.

A lot of books I read from the Library or don't have anymore.

Very nice! Latasha, is your book shelf called The Ambrose Bierce memorial shelf? :D

Well it is now! Lol
