    Hi!!! Im an avid reader but never got into horror. I’ve just read a few Stephen king’s books more on the thriller topic and really enjoy detective and dark novels so I really appreciate your recommendations and I’m so glad that they are not new, because I’m tired of trying to keep up with the new releases. ❤

    I was pleasantly surprised by the old McDowell selection : The Elementals - McDowell also wrote The Amulet, & Cold Moon Over Babylon, which were good - McDowell tended to write "Southern Gothic style horror, whether it supernatural or not.
    I don't know much about the modern horror book scene, but some of your selections look very intriguing...

    It was a certain time of month and I was some feeling some type away about it, so in the moment, I was reading, Carrie and just like fully getting behind it

I’ll never read anything more from Ketchum because I just can’t handle it 😩 I’m more the “haunted house” horror type of person. Another book that was too much from me was “the troop”. Maybe you would like that one if you like Ketchum books

    My favorite 'romantic at heart' horror is "returning with nothing". There's even a manga made out of the book.
    The story is that the main character is weak, he struggles horribly until eventually he dies.
    His consciousness returns into the past and he gets a chance to live his life in a different way.
    Only that... he is still weak. No special skills or anything.
    In his second life he meets the daughter of the leader of a terrorist group.
    She is a pure genius, extraordinarily talented, like no one else.
    He struggles for more than 2000 years in order to become the person she can look up to.
    The story is pure horror, and what he goes through is insane, but it's really the kind-of hidden romance between them that drives it.
