I compiled a list of the top 25 must read horror books.

I and members of our group nominated these titles. They are listed in no particular order, if you would like to vote and put these books in a rated order, I could put up a poll. Please let me know what you think.

Also, if others would like to add more books please post them here and we can have a run-off poll in the future.

You guys think Jaws should be added. I enjoyed the book, it is truly the first horror novel I read. Perhaps thats why I have a soft spot for it.

Jaws by Peter Benchley

Yes, many books are MIA, partly because it is a short list of 25 books. We can make it a top 50 list, perhaps put up a poll and take it from there.

Angel Gelique (angelgelique) | 23 comments I'm shocked not to see Kilborn on the list! Here are some of his great, gory reads:

Afraid by Jack Kilborn Endurance A Novel of Terror by Jack Kilborn
Trapped by Jack Kilborn

Loved them all!!!

Ed , these books were picked in the past by the group members. we could do a new run down and vote, but activity has been limited as of late.
