I've just finished The voices by f. R. Tallis. It was a bit meh....it had a few good chills but to be honest it just didn't deliver the goods sad

Does anyone out there in MN world have any suggestions? Ideally I want a book(s) that is going to scare the living bejesus out of me :-)

Please and thank you

Ania Ahlborn ? She has written 4 books, all reasonable on Kindle and v v scary. I'd start with Seed, her first one. It's great ! Also Adam Neville is good.

Brian Keene ? All good but he has written a zombie trilogy that I loved

Thanks, some great suggestions smile

I'm now going to look online to see if I can get any of them. I have a nook rather than a kindle but I'm sure I'll be able to find them on the Barnes and Nobel site.

Agirlcalledsandoz, i read some Richard laymon a few years ago and really enjoyed them but for some reason I completely forgot about him :-/

Second the Jonathan Aycliffe suggestion. Just don't bother with his latest, Silence of Ghosts, as it's not nearly as good as his older novels. I'd start with Naomi's Room.

I got Naomi's room and heart shaped box by Joe Hill (SKs son) :-) I'm going to start with Naomi's room tonight.

I'd love anymore suggestions as I tend to get through 8-9 books a month!

Pretty much anything by Dean Koontz. Too many to name - but I love them. My teenagers do too.

OK. I love horror and the scariest book I have read is The Absence by Bill Hussey. It makes me feel I'll recounting that tale.

Also Seed Ania Ahlborn.

Ooohhh, I'll look for the absence :-) I may never sleep again but that's ok, apparently sleep's for wimps (and people with no kids).

Feel ill I meant! Please do get the absence. Folks rate Through a glass darkly, by Hussey but it was the absense that left me troubled. It was just so, real and surreal at the same time.

Just remembered the supernatural series by Stephen Leather, with detective Joe nightingale. It wasn't scary exactly but engrossing. You must read them in order though.http://www.amazon.co.uk/NIGHTFALL-Jack-Nightingale-Supernatural-Thriller/dp/1444700642

Sorry, don't know why tablets doing this! Lastly I suggest Joe Hill, Stephen Kings son. Again not scary like The Absence but engrossing. I loved Heart Shaped Box
