With October coming to a close it’s time to look at my top 5 horror books.
- IT by Stephen King
This was number 1 on my list because it is one of my favourite Stephen King novels. It is a good horror book with the iconic Pennywise.
- The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
The story drags the reader in, and it’s written brilliantly.
- Dracula by Bram Stoker
A good horror classic. The character of Dracula is superb, and the epistolary nature of the book gives the different points of views of all the characters.
- The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing
Brilliant and unnerving. Very different from the others on this list. Starts off with the ‘perfect’ family when there is an arrival of a new child.
- Carmilla by Sheridan La Fanu
It is a novella with a female vampire. Quite eerie but very good.
