Uh well I recommend anything by may favorite autor Dean Koontz. I have read over 15 or his novels and loved everyone. I will spare you all a lot of reading and only post the one I just finished reading.

Title: Phantoms
Author: Dean Koontz
Genre: Suspense/ Horror
Short Summary: The people in the town of Snowfield have disspeared. Some are found brutally murdered. Others vanished all together. Nothing about this makes sense. Soon the ones sent to investigate snowfield find themselves inravelled in there worst nightmare.
Rating: 4/5

Some of my other Favorites of his include Cold Fire, Midnight, Door to December, Lightning, Dark rivers of the heart, and false memory. I would have to say my absoulote favorite hands down would be Intensity! Excellent by almost all standards. Most of his books are suspense.
