The Woman in Black by Susan Hill. I read it before I even knew about a film being made & it literally made my spine tingle & gave me goose bumps. Thinking ab0ut going to see the film now (not something I usually like to do as a book always seems much better than a film)

(Sorry,just seen you've done King's books)

David Moody books are great.Better than World War Z,I would say.

Also try out J L Bourne and Z A Recht for a good zombie read.

Takes a lot to beat the James Herbert 'The Rats','The Lair','Domain' and others,I'd agree.

Stephen King?

Not normally a zombie fan but I did like passage and I am legend so I'm getting more open minded. The David moody books look good!
Night of the seventh darkness seems intriguing. Seems to be out of print.

Is world war z any good? Thank you for the ideas so far, struggling to find ones that appeal ATM.

Clive Barker's Books of Blood are a good read.

I'd forgotten about James Herbert. Bugger, I gave all of my books away.

Domain by James Herbert gave me the proper willies. And not in the good way.

'It' is pretty disturbing (I don't scare easily Grin)
