I never could, ever since I got creeped out in 3rd or 4th grade by a short story that in retrospect probably wasn't that bad. I wondered if anyone in the forum does, and if so why and what kind of horror?

It depends on the type of horror. I like Dark Fantasy, which is often put in the Horror section, like Anne Rice and Laurel K Hamilton. I also like James Herbert, his book the Dark is really creepy!! But I don't like horror novels about ghosts or spooky houses, or the stereotypical cheesy horror.

I'd forgotten that most bookstore put Rice and Hamilton in the horror section. They're either in general fiction or fastasy here at the library. I guess I do like some horror after all--though I'm still not interested in Stephen King or the like.

Brian Lumley's Necroscope series is a great horror/sci fi series. Interesting how the vampires are protrayed in those books smile

I'm not sure if this is considered a mystery as well as horror, but I think Billy by Whitley Strieber would be a good one for this topic. It's about a ***** who stalks a boy for a little while, and then kidnaps him. While half of the novel shows the happenings between Billy and his captor, the other half shows the parents and their moves to try and track down the culprit. It has some pretty intense moments, and I highly recommend it!

Cool! Sounds like it's both to me. It's psychological horror combined with a mystery.

I don't think I've ever really read anything that would be considered horror, but I'm usually open to try anything, so I imagine if I found something interesting, I would.

I absolutely love horror!
It's one of my favourite genres... and Stephen King is my favourite horror/suspense author.
I just really love his style.

Do you prefer psychological horror, or the gore-filled kind?

I like both kinds, though I get bored of a book if it focuses too much on creeping you out with lots of gore for no reaon, if that makes sense.

Yeah, Hamilton has a great way of making sex creepy, if that makes sense.
