| So nice of you to check out my Library! This is the room I hide in, as often as possible. I would love to share some of my favourites with you. Come, sit a spell, I am sure you will enjoy... Classic Horror 1. "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs - There is no better story to read on a dark, creepy night than this wonderful tale of 3 wishes made upon a mummified monkey's paw that has been cast with a special spell. This story reminds us that we do not always want what we wish for. For the complete tale on-line, check out the following link: http://www.horrorseek.com/home/horror/dread/monkpaw.html Don't forget to push your browser's back button when you are done, to you might continue your visit the rest of my nook! 2. "Dracula" by Bram Stoker - Yes, this is an oldie, and I am sure you read it as a teenager. But relive the terror as an adult if you dare. There are few better written than this dark tale. Click on the link to read it online. 3. "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley - (Read it online) This moving story will leave you breathless. No matter that it has been around for years...if you haven't re-read this book in the past 10 years, then you are about 9 years too late! Curl up and spend a night or two with this one again. It just gets better every time! 4. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury - Yet another must-read that you might have been forced to read when you were younger and perhaps didn't enjoy or understand. I promise that you will read this with much better understanding and a few bonus chills along the way this time. |

| The New Classics The latter quarter of the 1900's introduced us to a new brand of horror writers. The best of these include the likes of Peter Straub, Mary Higgins Clark, Clive Barker, Robin Cook, and one of the best "New" writers of all time - Stephen King. No horrorfest reading period is complete without ensuring you read these: "The Books of Blood" by Clive Barker and "Carrie", Doubleday, 1974 (Stephen King) "Salem's Lot", Doubleday, 1975 (Stephen King) "The Shining", Doubleday, 1977 (Stephen King) Check out Stephen King: the official web presence |
| Okay, okay, so you want to read something right now! I have a solution for you. If you want to read a web-published cyber novel, check out this story of a young boy who is found dead inside a warehouse. The catch is that he has been dead since the 1940's. Good thing there is no statute of limitations on murder... Christopher Ford - Amateur Paranormalist: The Golden Gate By Moonlight (This is first in a series of five that you can read at the linked site.) and if you are just looking for a light read, try out these short stories on the web: The Sweet Touch of Horror - A Collection of Short Stories by Helen O'Shea |
