Has anyone read much of Sarah Pinborough? Her books seem to be good and creepy. I love the horror genre but am finding it hard to find books that scare me and make me double check the locks on the door. Would you recommend her books? Any favorites of hers or other authors?

I read her first book The Hidden and I remember liking it quite a bit.

Enouhg that I've picked up the rest of her books, though they are still lurking in my TBR pile.

I have heard especially good things about Breeding Ground.

I have to say though that no horror novel has made me double check the locks on the door, so your mileage may vary.

Thanks. British authors tend to create a different type of spooky, creepy atmosphere. I appeciate the feedback and will definitely add The Hidden and The Taken to my TBR pile.

I'm basically interested in trying out some of the female authors as most horror is generated by male authors. I enjoyed Sarah Langan's first two books and found them pretty spooky and well written.

Apparently, Sarah is part of a writing group called MUSE with Sarah Langan, Alexandra Sokoloff and Deborah LeBlanc. I think I'll spend some time reading some of their work as well. The Harrowing by Alexandra Sokoloff looks interesting.

Oh! The embarrassment!

I have all the published paperbacks by Sarah Langan, Alexandra Sokoloff and Deborah Leblanc, but haven't read them yet. I really need to read faster.

Joyce Carol Oates, (touchstone not working) when she writes horror, writes some very disturbing short stories...
