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

NOS4R2 by Joe King is excellent - his best

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!

Naomi's Room was very creepy!

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.

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 :-/

Jonathan Aycliffe is great, very scary...

agirlcalledsandoz · 06/07/2014 13:08

Richard Laymon excellent too. Can you tell I love horror GrinGrin

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
