DiphApang, Well, there are all of the obvious ones like Dracula, Frankenstein, etc but if you want to read something right now I will offer a short story I wrote for our writing section here at OBC in the link below. I only suggest it because people seem to like it and if you decide to read it I hope you will also. Appropriate for the Halloween season too.DiphApang_ wrote: ↑11 Oct 2018, 14:55 Can anyone recommend a very horrific book I can read? I love this genre but I haven't read anything scary out here... So any recommendations?

Newer horror novels I loved:
Head Full of Ghosts - Paul Tremblay
Bird Box - Josh Malerman
The Trooper - Nick Cutter
And if you're a Stranger Things fan, I'd highly recommend My Best Friend's Exorcism from Grady Hendrix

I remember reading it years ago and being unable to sleep, it was so engrossing that I felt trapped. I wanted to stop but couldn't prevent myself from turning the next page.
Truly spine-chilling and eerie, don't read alone!

I’d second Susan Hill’s stuff. Not too long but spine-chilling is a very accurate description!Browneh wrote: ↑02 Sep 2019, 11:10 The Woman in Black by Susan Hill is a classical horror fiction.
