I love horror stories but it has been a long time since one has got under my skin. I like supernatural/ghost stories not monster/vampire/thriller types.

Have read (and love) all of King. Also like some koontz/Herbert/susan hill/graham masterton to name but a few. I have tried a few more recently like cj Tudor but found the stories lacking and ooorly written. Not keen on joe hill. I'm not very good at trying new authors so if anyone has read a new (or old) really spooky book I'd really love some recommendations.

You could try House of Small Shadows by Adam Nevill. It really got under my skin and I threw it away once I'd finished it, I found it really unsettling. Not sure if that's a recommendation or not!

Can't go wrong with Dracula. It's marvellous.
