For the record, not all of these titles are horror in the strictest definition of the genre, but they will all appeal to your horror fans. I also highly recommend Handling the Undead and Full Dark, No Stars on Cindy's list. I have not reviewed these books personally, but they are good.Laird Barron – Occultation
Robert Jackson Bennett – Mr. Shivers
Justin Cronin – The Passage
Ellen Datlow, ed. – Darkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror (short stories)
Stephen M. Irwin – The Dead Path
Stephen King – Full Dark, No Stars
Jeff Lindsay - Dexter Is Delicious
John Ajvide Lindqvist – Handling the Undead
Dan Wells – Mr. Monster
Dave Zeltserman – The Caretaker of Lorne Field
I am happy to see them recognizing horror not only at Halloween, but to their list I would like to add a few others. Here are my personal favorite horror and horror-esque titles that I read in 2010. All links are to my full reviews.
- The Passage by Justin Cronin (this was the absolute BEST book I read all year)
- Horns by Joe Hill
- Locke and Key: Crown of Shadows by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

Other 2010 titles I would suggest to horror readers would be:
