Horror Aficionados discussion

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations for a horror book.

I kinda wanna have the feeling that you can’t put down the book, because it’s so intense and interesting, also because you are a little bit scared that it may escape from the book.

Do you guys have any recommendations or any favorite books that fits my very diffused description?? >_<

Can you narrow down what sort of Horror appeals to you?

Supernatural, slashers, creature features, etc.?

I like Stephen King a lot. Mostly I like supernatural or slasher!

The Only Good Indians or, maybe even more so, My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, if you like a bit of humor with your horror.

Supernatural is my top subcategory. Some favourites:
A Christmas Tale
Ghost Story
Faerie Tale
The Ghost Woods

A little late to the party here, but while slashers are a bit lower on my list of favorite subgenres, I still loved My Heart Is a Chainsaw and the second book in the trilogy, Don't Fear the Reaper. Still need to read the 3rd book - I love the main character, Jade!

Though I will say that The Only Good Indians is brilliant, and perhaps my favorite of his works.

Also, if you're looking for a horror/thriller mix, Riley Sager seems to specialize in it. I've read Final Girls, The House Across the Lake and The Last Time I Lied. That last is probably my favorite of the three.

I didn't think I cared for slashers, but some recent writers have been playing around with them in creative, entertaining ways.

Thank you all for the recommendations!! I’ve put them in my to read list :3
