Horror, horror - your favourite horror story or author

There are so many to choose from, and I have enjoyed all that I have read. Ticktock, Whispers, Darkness Comes are a few, but as I say, there are so many to chhose from.

Right, Stephen King's earlier novels were better (horror-wise). I've not tried Dean Koontz - which book of his would you recommend?

I've seen his books around, but haven't read any. Thanks, I'll get one and start reading. Any particular titles that you would recommend?

Gosh, I've enjoyed every book I've read of his, with the exception of 'Punish the Sinners'. I don't know if it was me at the time, like maybe I wasn't in the mood, or if I just didn't care for the storyline. The ones that really stand out are; Black Creek Crossing, Guardian, Black Lightning...Oh heck, get two or three of them and give them a try. You may like them and you may not. If you have a library near by they should carry some of his books. If you do get one or two and read them, let me know what you think. He's the only horror author I have ever read and liked, I haven't read many, my taste doesn't usually run that way. I'm changing as I get older I guess.

I've read some of the stories by the classic authors; maybe I'm not familiar with some of the old English terms, so I gave up.

Can you recommend Christopher Pike's books? I don't think I have seen his books around yet.

Thanks, I'll look for the book in our bookstores.

Thanks, I'll check out Frank Peretti.
