Horns: A Novel
Joe Hill
William Morrow, 2010
An amazing, powerful, moving book
If I had to pick a single horror novel to introduce someone who has never read horror, to what it was capable of, I would recommend they read Horns. Inside a story of love and death and betrayal are fantastical elements. But the characters are so normal, so "everyday", ...

Best Anita in Ages
I loved this book, i have been feeling that The Anita Blake Series has been a little bit lost over the last few books, just not quite achieving the potential of the plot but Flirt was FUN! It combined the directness of the earlier books whilst keeping the current story ...

Under the Dome: A Novel
Stephen King
Scribner, 2009
The stand was my favorite book... This one comes close
Mr. King simply has a genious to writing. So descriptive he is able to bring the reader right into the book as if they are a bystander watching everything happen right in front of them. It's a long book and I've had many sleepless nights reading and having to know what ...

A Dark Matter
Peter Straub
Doubleday, 2010
A Different Kind of Horror
After thinking about it quite a bit, I have to say that Peter Straub takes a bit of a different approach to the sorts of scary stories that he writes. Unlike King, I don't believe that Straub's intentions when he writes is to simply deliver thrills and chills to the ...

The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman
HarperCollins, 2008
A wonderful, nuanced work
The Graveyard Book is my first Neil Gaiman book, and I'm definitely planning on reading more. I'd heard a lot of praise of this book, but it still didn't prepare me for the elegance of his style.
Though I liked the drawings, the real charm of this book is the ...

Vampire novels

Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 1)

Halloween Candy - A Sweet Treat With Little Nutritional Value
You don't go trick-or-treating and expect gourmet chocolate truffles.
You don't go to McDonald's and order $50 steak.
You don't go to Old Navy to find designer duds.
