I normally don't read MUCH horror, but some tried and true for me are:
Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon
Son of the Endless Night by John Farris
Escardy Gap by Two British guys (I think one is Cosgrove??)
KoKo by Peter Straub (more suspense than horror, I think)

Welcome to the board, good choice of a handle. You will be loved by all.

I don't even know any more...

The original Necroscope Series was:

Necroscope
Vamphrii
The Source
DeadSpeak
Deadspawn

After that it gets a little murky with:

Blood Brothers
The Last Aeri
Bloodwars

And then the newer ones:

The Lost Years vol 1 & 2

And the even more recent:

Defilers
Avengers
Invaders

And don't forget the most recent: Necroscope: The Touch.

As for me, a few horror novels and stories that I can immediately and highly recommend include:

• Peter Straub's Ghost Story. It gets all sorts of praise as being extraordinarily creepy, and it is! For certain people it might not be very fast in getting to the darker parts, but it really does get damn creepy. Highly recommended.
  
• H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dreams in the Witch House." I feel about Stewart Gordon how FPW felt about Michael Mann, circa 1983, for the atrocious adaptation he made of it for Masters of Horror, so if you liked that (weirdo), odds are you won't like this. Very subliminally creepy, and definitely not something you should read if you wake up in the middle of the night (dreams...nightmares...get it??). Come to think of it, most of his works are this good.
  
• Joseph Citro. I've only read these novels written by him, but they all proved to be quite unsettling: Shadow Child, Lake Monsters (AKA Dark Twilight), and The Gore (AKA The Unseen). Goes for the jugular while peppering all sorts of disjointed clues throughout, and then everything comes together in the end...even as a person falls apart (sometimes literally).
  
• Stephen King's Pet Sematary. Forget how popular he is for a minute and actually give him--and in particular this book--a chance. You won't regret it...it has one of the all-time coldest, grimmest, most clutching-your-heart-in-an-icy-grip endings I've ever read.

i'm big into a horror/crime series called The Special X series. it's about a fictional detachment of the RCMP that investigate horrific crimes. the series is written by Michael Slade. website at www.specialx.net. sweet books. awesome death... if you're into that sort of thing. there's 10 books in the series so far:

Headhunter
Ghoul
Cutthroat
Ripper
Evil Eye
Primal Scream
Burnt Bones
Hangman
Death's Door
Bed of Nails

check them out.

I LOVE those books. I'll never forget the ending to the first one I read -Headhunter what a surprise ending!

Welcome to the board, GIAMUSTGO.

"Son of the Endless Night" was good.

I'm on a bit of a Golden kick; just finished Straight On 'Til Morning and about 100 pages into The Myth Hunters. SOTM was breezy, but solidly entertaining. TMH is also enjoyable thus far. In fact, I'm starting to feel that Golden delivers dependable horror/fantasy about as well as any author currently going. You'll get good entertainment value from him, if nothing earth shattering.

I read "Monster Island", the authors name escapes me I think it is Wellington. Good flesh eating zombie story located in Manhatten.

Not me! I think "Gia is HOTT!!!" would be a better handle! Oh! BTW, I'm reading a book of short stories by Ed Gorman: "The Dark Fantastic". So far, so good. And Paul wrote a review for the front of the book, so he must like Gorman's work too (what better reference than that).

That is a solid collection. I'm a fan of Gorman's for sure. He is quite versatile; he writes horror, thrillers, mysteries, sci-fi, and westerns. I'm particularly drawn to his thrillers and westerns. He wrote 3 books under the EJ Gorman: The Marilyn Tapes, Senatorial Privelage & The First Lady(I think that's the title) that are outstanding. He has also used the pseudonym of Daniel Ransom and everything under that name has been exceptional-especially The Fugitive Stars & The Serpent's Kiss.

Did Shocklines send that to you too? They sent it to me, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
