Stephen King recommends
 The Case of Charles Dexter Ward (1943) H P Lovecraft "The 20th century horror story's dark and baroque prince." |  Nothing More Than Murder (1949) Jim Thompson "My favorite crime novelist - often imitated but never duplicated - is Jim Thompson." |  Fear (1951) L Ron Hubbard "A classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror... One of the really, really good ones." | |
 Charles Addams Mother Goose (1967) Charles Addams "Hurrah for this rediscovered treasure!" |  Pale Gray for Guilt (1968) (Travis McGee, book 9) John D MacDonald "...the great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller." |  Riotous Assembly (1971) Tom Sharpe "The funniest writer now working in the English language." | |
 The Forever War (1974) (Forever War, book 1) Joe Haldeman "If there was a Fort Knox for the science fiction writers who really matter, we'd have to lock Haldeman up there." |  Deathbird Stories (1975) Harlan Ellison "If there is such a thing as a fantasist for the 1980's (always assuming there are 1980's) then Harlan Ellison is almost surely that writer." |  The Fury (1976) (Fury, book 1) John Farris "America's premier novelist of terror, nobody does it better." | |
 The Doll Who Ate His Mother (1976) Ramsey Campbell "The climax of the hunt is one of the most effective sequences in modern horror fiction." |  Hurricane Wake (1977) Rosalind Ashe "A beautifully written and constructed novel of mounting fear and terror...a good representative of a rare genre indeed - it is a novel of the inexplicable." |  Falling Angel (1978) William Hjortsberg "A terrific book...I've never read anything remotely like it. Trying to imagine what must have happened if Raymond Chandler had written The Exorcist is as close as I can come." | |
 By Reason of Insanity (1979) Shane Stevens "One of the finest novels ever written about perfect evil... I recommend it unreservedly." |  The Lure (1979) Felice Picano "Felice Picano is one hell of a writer." |  The Totem (1979) David Morrell "A knockout!" | |

Moves so fast it makes the last Ludlum novel you read look like a dodge-'em car in an amusement park" | |
 Phantoms (1983) Dean Koontz "Gruesome and unrelenting - I couldn't let it alone until I was done." |  Nerve Endings (1984) William Martin "A thriller-reader's joy - smart, scary, thought-provoking. Impossible to put down." |  The Ceremonies (1984) T E D Klein "The most exciting horror novel since Peter Straub's Ghost Story." | |
 Books of Blood Volume 3 (1984) Clive Barker "What he's doing now is important exciting. He's an original...he even scares me." |  A Mortal Glamour (1985) Chelsea Quinn Yarbro "Terrifying.

 Bones of the Moon (1987) (Rondua, book 1) Jonathan Carroll "I was taken away, thrilled like a spectator at a really good magic show. I want to buttonhole people and say, read this! Read this!" |  Slob (1987) (Chaingang) Rex Miller "This terrifying and original novel marks the debut of a writer who is able to bring dynamite with both hands." |  The Crosskiller (1988) Marcel Montecino "I loved this book.

 Rules of Prey (1989) (Lucas Davenport, book 1) John Sandford "It's a big suspenseful read and I loved every minute of it. " |  Burning Water (1989) (Diana Tregarde, book 1) Mercedes Lackey "She'll keep you up long past your bedtime." |  The Girl Next Door (1989) Jack Ketchum "THE GIRL NEXT DOOR is alive...it does not just promise terror but actually delivers it.. it's a page-turner..." | |
 Tender (1990) Mark Childress "A big, all-American, technicolor dreamboat of a book... This is a great novel." |  Children of the Night (1990) (Diana Tregarde, book 2) Mercedes Lackey "Mercedes Lackey's work is as sharp--and scary--as the suddenly revealed fang of a vampire. She'll keep you up long past your bedtime." |  The Lyssa Syndrome (1990) Christopher Fahy "I read it in one big gulp, and I think it is extraordinary...a suspense triumph, a high-speed horror bullet that simply riveted me..." | |
 The Last Vampire (1991) T M Wright "T. M. Wright is a rare and blazing talent." |  Jinx High (1991) (Diana Tregarde, book 3) Mercedes Lackey "As sharp and as scary - as the suddenly revealed fang of a vampire." |  Summer of Night (1991) Dan Simmons "An American nightmare with scares, suspense, and a sweet, surprising nostalgia, one of those rare must-read books. I am in awe of Dan Simmons." | |
 A Simple Plan (1993) Scott Smith "The best suspense novel of the year - hell, of the 1990s." |  Bad Love (1993) (Alex Delaware, book 8) Jonathan Kellerman "Simply too good to miss." |  The Angel Maker (1993) (Boldt / Matthews, book 2) Ridley Pearson "A hard book to put down... And even harder to forget." | |
 No Witnesses (1994) (Boldt / Matthews, book 3) Ridley Pearson "Ridley Pearson just keeps getting better." |  The Weatherman (1995) (Weatherman, book 1) Steve Thayer "One of the highest take-off points of any novel in recent memory." |  Stranglehold (1995) Jack Ketchum "A devastating novel." | |

 My Soul to Keep (1997) Tananarive Due "An eerie epic ... bears favorable comparison to Interview with a Vampire. I loved this novel." |  Bloodstream (1998) Tess Gerritsen "...what Anne Rice is to vampires, Gerritsen is to the tale of medical suspense... She is better than Palmer, better than Cook ... yes, even better than Crichton." |  The Midnight Tour (1998) (Beast House Chronicles, book 3) Richard Laymon "If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat." | |
 The Best of Cemetery Dance (1998) Richard T Chizmar "Cemetery Dance is one of the best. Great stuff. " |  Big Trouble (1999) Dave Barry "I laughed so hard I fell out of a chair. . ." |  Indigo (1999) Graham Joyce "Clever, engrossing, and very scary. I was up until one in the morning." | |
 Crying Wolf (2000) Peter Abrahams "My favorite American suspense novelist." |  Protect and Defend (2000) (Kerry Kilcannon, book 2) Richard North Patterson "Lightening in a bottle... you can't put the damn thing down, and you don't want to. " |  The Ancient (2000) Muriel Gray "Scary and Unputdownable. If you're going to read a single suspenser in 2001, make it this one." | |
 The Death Artist (2000) Dennis Etchison "Etchison is one hell of a fiction writer." |  The Hook (2000) Donald E Westlake "THE HOOK is a heartstopping suspense novel from the pro of pros. I was hooked myself, from page one. The book is full of nasty jolts and turns, including one of the most hair-raising murder scenes ever written. THE AX was good; THE HOOK is ever so much better. Westlake shines...and in this case, he terrifies, as well." |  Infinity Beach (2000) Jack McDevitt "Nail-biting ... I simply couldn't put it down." | |
 Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (2000) Richard Matheson "Be warned: You are in the hands of a writer who asks no quarter and gives none. He will wring you dry... and when you close this volume he will leave you with the greatest gift a writer can give. He will leave you wanting more." |  About the Author (2001) John Colapinto "A thriller worthy of Hitchcock at his best. I wasn't able to put it down. Splendid suspense." |  The Straw Men (2001) (Straw Men, book 1) Michael Marshall "Brilliantly written and scary as hell." | |
 Sleep No More (2002) (Mississippi) Greg Iles "...should come with a red wrapper marked DANGER, HIGH EXPLOSIVES... a shocker that really shocks. You'll find yourself afraid to turn off the light after seven chapters, and after eleven, you may find yourself wondering if the person lying next to you when you do darken the room is someone you really know or a dangerous stranger... gets under the skin, and then burrows deep." |  Fever 42 (2002) Christopher Fahy "Wildly funny and surprisingly sad. The combination made me think of the early J.D. Salinger... A wonderful writer." |  Gravediggers' Party (2002) Gahan Wilson "Genuine weirdness combined with wit and intelligence." | |
 Chindi (2002) (Engines of God, book 3) Jack McDevitt "In his ability to absolutely rivet the reader, it seems to me that McDevitt is the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke." |  Speaks the Nightbird (2002) (Matthew Corbett, book 1) Robert R McCammon "...an excellent story, full of tension and suspense..." |  The Last Good Day (2003) Peter Blauner "A wonderful novel." | |
 Dynamite Road (2003) (Weiss and Bishop, book 1) Andrew Klavan "Andrew Klavan is the most original American novelist of crime and suspense." |  The Night Country: Or, the Darkness on the Edge of Town (2003) Stewart O'Nan "...scary, sad, funny...mesmerizing read..." |  Omega (2003) (Engines of God, book 4) Jack McDevitt "In his ability to absolutely rivet the reader, it seems to me that McDevitt is the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke." | |
 A Kind of Flying (2003) Ron Carlson "These stories glow with a radioactive otherness. It's great fun to watch them sparkle and fizz into glorious full-color wirdness." |  The Memory of Running (2004) Ron McLarty "This is a book that can do more than walk; it has a chance to be a breakout bestseller... Smithy is an American original, worthy of a place on the shelf just below your Hucks, your Holdens, your Yossarians." |  Nightworlds (2004) William F Nolan "An expert in the art of scaring the hell out of people." | |
 Playing with Fire (2004) (Inspector Banks, book 14) Peter Robinson "The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are, simply put, the best series now on the market. In fact, this may be the best series of British novels since the novels of Patrick O'Brian. Try one and tell me I'm wrong." |  The Bloody Crown of Conan (2004) (Conan) Robert E Howard "Stories such as 'The People of the Black Circle' glow with the fierce and eldritch light of his frenzied intensity." |  Down the Rabbit Hole (2005) (Echo Falls, book 1) Peter Abrahams "One walloping good suspense yarn." | |
 Wildwood Road (2005) Christopher Golden "WILDWOOD ROAD is a brilliant novel of supernatural suspense that reminded me of the early classics by Ira Levin--think ROSEMARY'S BABY and you won't be disappointed. There's no baby, but oh baby, there is one creepy little lost girl that kept me turning the pages long after I should have gone to bed. This one's a keeper." |  One Mississippi (2006) Mark Childress "Funniest novel I've read in 10 years!" |  This Book Will Save Your Life (2006) A M Homes "I think this brave story of a lost man's reconnection with the world could become a generational touchstone, like Catch-22, The Monkey Wrench Gang, or The Catcher in the Rye. There is a lot of uplift here, but Homes's deadpan delivery keeps it from feeling greeting-card phony. So does the novel's ambience, which is 21st-century L.A. weird. And hey, maybe it will save somebody's life." | |
 Piece of My Heart (2006) (Inspector Banks, book 16) Peter Robinson "The best series now on the market." |  Temeraire (2006) (Temeraire, book 1) Naomi Novik "Temeraire is a terrifically entertaining fantasy novel. Is it hard to imagine a cross between Susanna Clarke, of Norrell and Strange fame, and the late Patrick O'Brian? Not if you've read this wonderful, arresting novel." |  Half the Blood of Brooklyn (2007) (Joe Pitt, book 3) Charlie Huston "One of the most remarkable prose stylists to emerge from the noir tradition in this century." | |
 Gone (2008) (Gone, book 1) Michael Grant "Gone is an exciting, high-tension story told in a driving, torrential narrative that never lets up . . . This is great fiction. I love this book." |  The Story of Edgar Sawtelle (2008) David Wroblewski "I flat-out loved it." |  The Garbage Man (2009) Joseph D'Lacey "D'Lacey rocks!" | |
 The Passage (2009) Justin Cronin "Read fifteen pages and you will find yourself captivated; read thirty and you will find yourself taken prisoner and reading late into the night. It has the vividness that only epic works of fantasy and imagination can achieve. What else can I say? This: read this book and the ordinary world disappears." |  The Nearest Exit (2010) Olen Steinhauer "The best spy novel I've ever read that wasn't written by John Le Carré." |
