Any Halloween reading suggestions?

[Guttersnipe]

Carrie by Stephen King--relatively short and twisted.

 

[Rodders]

Hey-zus, Vince. That was terrible.

F. Paul Wilson. The Keep. If you like that, it is part of the 8 book Adversary Cycle, which is part of his larger “Otherness” series of books. I read them all a couple of years ago and it was great.

'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson frightened me a little bit. And is 'literary' so leave around the place for people to acknowledge. Also, supposedly one of the 'greatest books' written by an American. [Stephen King]

My own copy jumped off the shelf during night shift. I didn't read any of it during night shift. Written by the author of 'The Lottery,' [short story] or similar - which is on-line - and studied, admired by creative writer types, so you can check out the opposition, saying things like:

'Meh, I could have written that...'

The Problem of Cell 13.

Jaques Futrelle great writer and sadly , died on the Titanic .

 

[AE35Unit]

Ray Bradbury’s The October Country

Reading that next...

 

[Rodders]

The Trickster by Muriel Gray was a pretty decent horror book. Well worth reading.

Yes the Keep is good, but the series connection is very tenuous. Treat em as standalones.

 

[Rodders]

It all pulls together in the end and many of the good guys return in Nightworld.

 

[JJewel]

I didnt realise it as a series, read the Keep and liked the way he twisted the accepted views / presumptions.

Ray Bradbury is a lighter read for Halloween if the classic Mythos tales are considered to extreme.

 

[BAYLOR]

Coldprint by Ramsey Campbell
Ancient Images by Ramsey Campbell
Midnight Sun By Ramsey Campbell

 

[Toby Frost]

I'd nominate The Doll Who Ate His Mother by Ramsey Campbell and The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons.

 

[JJewel]

Ray Bradbury / Charles Addams work is a treat, anything by Charles Addams is perfect for Halloween also, but are they considered books so much?

 

[Hugh]

Roger Zelazny's A Night in Lonesome October might fit the bill in several ways.

In every way! A delight!

 

[JJewel]

Thats lucky I just bought it and awaiting its arrival eagerly
