Hello everyone. Lately I’ve been into reading horror books. I just can’t get enough of them! I am looking for your best recommendations. What are some that have stood out to you as extremely scary?

    Various books by James Herbert are extremely good at creating visceral horror and imagery. I remember reading "The Fog" which contained some rather grotesque scenes and a sickly feel throughout. Definitely check that author out!

    Also - and you may already be aware of this - but "I have no mouth and I must scream" also hits hard.

    • The Ring Trilogy (Ring, Spiral, and Loop) by Kōji Suzuki. Ring and Spiral both have an eerie, bleak feel throughout and an engaging mystery. I also think Loop is a good read, but it completely does away with any traditional horror elements and is more sci-if/existential.

    Yeah I haven't read it but it's on my list. Stephen King is my recomendation like IT or the Outsider.

    Beside Stephen King I also like Cliver Barker. They both have short story collections so your best bet is to pick one of those up.
