My favourite horror/thriller books
The ShiningThe Shining by Stephen King
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £2.50
the film is excellent, but the book is even better. Stephen King at his early best
IntensityIntensity by Dean Koontz
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01
the first koontz book i ever read, this is a chilling story about a girl trapped in the camper-home of a serial killer...underated, but well worth a read!
The RatsThe Rats by James Herbert
Buy used from: £3.37
simple but scary...giant rats spawn from the sewers of London, and begin to overun the city. a short, but sweet book by Herbert.
Red DragonRed Dragon by Thomas Harris
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01
the first of Thomas Harris' Hannibal triliogy, and possibly the best
The Silence of the LambsThe Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris
Buy used from: £0.01
you've seen the film (if you haven't, then where have you been?!), now read the book. gripping stuff!
Pet SemataryPet Sematary by Stephen King
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.44
a slow beginning, but leads to a thrilling climax. the most disturbing and scary King novel I've read so far.
IslandIsland by Richard Laymon
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
a hugely underated author. Island is funny at times, and terrifying at others...a must buy!
ShatteredShattered by Dean Koontz
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.01
a deadly game of a cat-and-mouse chase across America - another underated novel by Koontz
ItIt by Stephen King
Buy new: £5.62 / Used from: £4.54
very long, but very scary. if you aren't scared of clowns, you will be by the time you finish this!
Along Came a SpiderAlong Came a Spider by James Patterson
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
the first novel to introduce Detective Alex Cross, this is Patterson at his best. also check out the sequel, 'Kiss The Girls'.
