That was doodie. sigh

Read Phantoms, Life Expectancy, or Fear Nothing by by Dean Koontz instead. nod
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Jay Anson's "The Amityville Horror" was pretty good when I read it way back when.

I like Ann Rice Novels and Stephen King. I also like those VC Andrews Novels about different Children.

Members of a skin head hate group team up with a displaced Russian scientist in a plot to spread Anthrax through NYC.
Robin Cook mainly writes creepy medical mysteries like "Coma".He usually has a good hook to his stories. "Vector" puts you right in the character's heads,it was more than a little unsettling to me. smile

"Horror Story" (great title biggrin) by Oliver McNabb is a good read. It's not a Stephen King type of horror in that it doesn't have any curses, mutants, living corpses, aliens, or intelligent weather features in it - it's just about a group of horrible people doing horrible things to other people.

Also "Claw" by Jay Ramsay was good.
"Spawn" by Shaun Hutson was good in a cheesy way - definitely B-movie material.

I bought these years ago though, and they weren't new then, so they could all be out of print.
Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP.
