 | The Travelling Vampire Show by Richard Laymon
Buy new: £6.69 / Used from: £0.01 COMING OF AGE. Laymon is always a sure bet for wonderfully rounded characters and brilliant dialogue.
|
 | King Blood (New English Library) by Simon Clark
Buy used from: £6.87 APOCALYPTIC. Clark is hit and miss, but he sure hit a bullseye with this doorstop of a book. Ignore the customer review (what do they know? Haha) - this is highly recommended.
|
 | Chasm by Stephen Laws
Buy used from: £1.99 INDEFINABLE. This book isn't easily categorised. Doesn't detract from its great story, though.
|
 | Intensity by Dean Koontz
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 MAINSTREAM. Tough choice this, but i'll stick with Intensity for its thrill-a-second story-telling. Unputdownable - Koontz at his best.
|
 | I Am Legend (S.F. Masterworks) by Richard Matheson
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £0.78 VAMPIRE. Look no further - this is the ultimate in both horror and vampire fiction. Cool title, too.
|
 | The Stand (The Complete and Uncut Edition) by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 KING. Nearly a genre all of his own, this is a standout book for Mr. King (STANDout - geddit?) and I'm not one of his biggest fans.
|
 | Books of Blood Omnibus: v. 1 by Clive Barker
Buy new: £7.66 / Used from: £3.98 FANTASTICAL. If imagination is what you're after, look no further. Mr. Barker is one sick puppy. Read 'em all if you can stomach it.
|
 | The Rats by James Herbert
Buy used from: £2.95 TRILOGY. Start here and never look a rat in the eye ever again. Smashing stuff from the leading British author of Horror.
|
 | Frankenstein: or The Modern Prometheus (Oxford World's Classics) by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Buy used from: £0.01 CLASSICS. It would be blasphemous to ignore the story that has influenced so many. Plus, she's the only woman on the list.
|
 | On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £2.50 NON-FICTION. Mr. King makes his second and most deserved appearance.
|
 | The Crow: Original Graphic Novel: Novelisation by James O'Barr
Buy new: £9.49 / Used from: £6.00 GRAPHIC NOVEL. Haunting, violent, beautiful. A must for anyone who's a romantic at heart.
|
 | Poems and Essays on Poetry (Fyfield Books) by Edgar Allan Poe
Buy new: £8.06 / Used from: £3.54 GOTHIC/POETRY. Everyone's heard of The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart, right?
|
 | Bite by Richard Laymon
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 THE BOOK THAT MADE ME A HORROR JUNKIE. Not great by any standards but at the age of 13 I thought it was pure gold.

Listmania!
