Re: Horror Recommendations for the Unenlightened

Hi all

The best horrors I've read have been two similar long novels:
'It' by Stephen King & 'Summer of Night' by Dan Simmons
both concern strong memories of childhood in smallish towns, with many characters with terrible events in the past coming to haunt the children, terrify and kill some of them them. There is such incredible detail in both novels, the only downside is the final scenes with the monsters at the end in both novels can never can quite match all the 1000 page ish length buildup but they are still 9.5/10 best ever horror stories for me
