I'm looking for some good.... horror

[Lioness]

Yes, 'Salem's lot is good as well.

Yes I like that he didn't try and demonise the vampires and was honest about the darkness in everyone. It was not always easy to hate the supposed monster when held up against the monstrosity in the humans.

He did the same thing with Cycle of the Werewolf. It's a good study on the way the characters change and evolve as the cycle progresses and more people are killed. There was at least one point where I was cheering for the werewolf.

Yeah that made it interesting. Vamps wasnt the over evil monsters they are in most movies.

What truly scared and gave me a wonderful creepy feeling when i was reading it was that it was a cozy small town and the people you got know before things started happening.

Exactly you got to know everyone and what flavour of ice-cream they liked and then you go to see all the dark habits that went on behind closed doors. He's honest about his people and that adds to the flavour of the book.

Yeah, that's what I really like about his writing.

I almost never take the human arpoach-I wrote a short story a while back,called "The greatest hunt"-and I think I could translate it,it being fairly short,so youd know what I mean.

"I apologize for that being so long. What I am looking for is some good horror novels - especially stuff that really crosses the line, then goes an extra mile. Do you guys have any recommendations?"

I'd like to suggest Moon Of The Wolf by Leslie H. Whitten. I'm not sure it "crosses the line" but if you like well written, solidly crafted supernatural suspense, you might give it a try.
