Recommendation Request - Good Horror Authors II

I tried this once and it worked out great - so lets try it again...

I enjoy good horror stories, and I am looking for some new authors. Some supernatural elements are ok, but not necessary. Good, scary, keep the light on stuff.

The last post on this topic yielded McCammon's Swan Song; excellent! I also learned and about, and thoroughly enjoyed, Aycliffe's Naomi's Room. Anyone got some new ones?

Right now I'm reading C.S. Lewis' The Dark Tower and other stories and am actually finding it a pretty neat little scare. Considering my only previous experience with Lewis was the Narnia series this actually comes across as some pretty freaky lovecraft-esque stuff. The novella is both unfinished and short (less than 100 pages), so as an afternoon read it is pretty darn cool.

The ceremonies by T.E.D. Klein... maybe the best book of any genre I've read...
Song of Kali by Dan Simmons... another great novel...
this two plus Pet sematary and Carrie by Stephen King are my favourite horror novels...

I'll second The Ceremonies. That is a terrific book. T.E.D. Klein, where did you go?

his stories Petey and The children of the kingdom are excellent... in style he is much better than Stephen King... but clearly less prolific... one novel... two anthologies... some tales and articles since 1970 or so...

Id defenitley reccomend Brian Lumleys necroscope series. It is excellent all round, I wont say anything about it but trust me, you dont know what your missing.

Whispers in the dark
The Matrix
The Vanishment
A Garden Lost in Time
All by Jonathan Aycliffe.

Collected Ghost Stories
by M.R James

I found "Summer of Night" by Dan Simmons to be a pretty fine horror novel. It reminded me of some of the earlier, scarier Stephen King works.

"Coraline" by Neil Gaiman was especially scary/creepy/unsettling. I find it most peculiar that it is considered a book for children.

Just recalled a decent horror novel I hadn't thought of in a while -- Girl in a Swing by Richard Adams.

The Traveling Vampire Show and Night in the Lonesome October by Richard Laymon (both have their moments of cheese and foolishness, but they're also two books I have not been able to forget since I read them).
Mystery Walk and Blue World by Robert R. McCammon, one of the top ten greatest horror writers of all time.
Off Season and its sequel, Offspring by Jack Ketchum.

haunted by chuck palahniuk. intelligently studies mankinds darkside in a gross,twisted and funny way.

This book I'm on, the Keep by F. Paul Wilson,is pretty creepy!
Also try The Dark by James Herbert,very good chiller!

"Carrion Comfort" by Dan Simmons. An epic read!

#8 "I found "Summer of Night" by Dan Simmons to be a pretty fine horror novel. It reminded me of some of the earlier, scarier Stephen King works."

I agree Summer of Night was a good read, and I found it particularly reminisent of It. Simmons wrote a number of books following Summer of Night that involved some of the same characters. Those varied somewhat in the creepiness department, but all were well written. The scariest of the Summer of Night follow ups was Children of Night in my opinion. an interesting take on the vampire story.
