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 UndeadLaird 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
and Full Dark, No Stars
on Cindy's list. I have not reviewed these books personally, but they are good.I am happy to see them recognizing horror not only at Halloween, but to their list I would like to add a few others.
