Reddit mentions: The best horror fiction books

Wow your taste is all over the place and we like the same types so if its ok, im going to link a few different ones. I picked ones not Already on your list.

• Im a WWII buff and have a ton on my list. Because you have some WWII/holocaust books, I suggest Sarah's Key. Its not a memoir but it is emotional and a perspective from the french side of the war.
  
  
• because you have The Art of Racing in the Rain on your list ( AWESOME book by the way), I suggest A Dog's Purpose. Its written a lot like The Art of Racing in the Rain. The author was beyond imaginative to portray the world through the eyes of a dog. I would laugh one minute and cry the next. Its also so relatable.
  
  
• finally, because you have Sookie on your list, I suggest Kitty and the Midnight Hour. Its not vampires, but werewolves. Its hands down one of my favorite series. She's a radio DJ and a werewolf in secret. She's clumsy, badass, and a loudmouth. Its pretty fantastic!
  
  I hope some of these help a little!

If you are looking for something you can find at a place like Barns and Noble, Urban Fantasy is likely what you will find most fuzzy. Lots of werewolf in the city type books.

[Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville Series) By Carrie Vaughn] (https://www.amazon.com/Kitty-Midnight-Hour-Norville/dp/0446616419/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468453249&sr=8-1) - Urban Fantasy. Liked a lot of the series. It is fun and doesn't take it self too seriously. Spunky Midnight DJ (thats a werewolf) starts taking calls about things that go bump in the night and it leads to fame and adventure.

Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, Book 1): A Jane Yellowrock Novel - Another Urban Fantasy. Skin walker that prefers the form of a cat takes up the job of head of security for a vampire. Bit gritter then above, and can bit a bit hit or miss.


Both of the above should be available locally for almost everyone. I have a huge pile of books I could sort to find others. But on to actual furry things:

Turning Point (Sholan Alliance) Bit old, and slightly dated mass produced book from the 80s that was vary furry and it is an impressively long series. Young lady from a colony world meets a telepathic cat and bonds with him.

Off Leash (Freelance Familiars Book 1) One of the better feral books I have ever read. Main turns into a 4 pawed feline familiar and bucks the trends.

[WindFall] (https://www.amazon.com/Windfall-Tempe-OKun-ebook/dp/B01DKRP67Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1468454404&sr=1-1&keywords=windfall+tempe) Young Husky meets up with old friend in a town a show was made about and discover a little bit of truth exists.

[Exiles Return] (https://www.amazon.com/Exiles-Return-Rebecca-Mickley-ebook/dp/B00K3XSF4W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468454490&sr=8-1) Bunny who retired to a uncolonized rim world is called back to represent Earth.

In Wilder Lands: The Fall of Eldvar Kind of an game/RPG style series. A homeless ringtale (of all things) ends up assisting a fox and eventually falling in love. Did I mention undead are slowly covering the world?

Mindtouch - This book is fairly intresting and one of the few books that I have ever read that features a almost romantic platonic relationship.

Bait and Switch - While I don't think this book is everyones cup of tea, it tackles identity issues in a interesting way.

Portals of Infinity (Series) - While I wouldn't call the series great books. Its fun furry action. Human stumbles in to a portal ends up becoming a champion of a fuzzy god, gets the girl and saves the day.



Some stuff that you can find for free:

[Ted R. Blasingame] (http://trblasingame.com/library.html) Writes a number of books worth checking out. Namely: Sunset of Furmankind and its available for free.

[Fel (James Galloway)] (http://www.weavespinner.net/worlds_of_fel.htm) Has tried vary had not write furry fiction but almost everything he writes has something fuzzy or a lot of fuzzy. Check out: Spirit Walker, Earth Bond and Kit. All 3 are free.

For a hardcover yes. Especially if it is in good condition. If it's an older print (e.g the 1986 Viking edition) then definitely yes. If it's the 25th Anniversary Edition (not likely ) then you just hit the jackpot.

Heads up, the UK Publisher Hodder & Stoughton has all 8 Dark Tower novels and the Complete Concordance as a matching set, and on amazon it would actually cost me less to have the H&S set shipped all the way from the UK than it would to preorder this set. That's the 7 main books, Wind Through the Keyhole, AND the concordance, whereas I'm pretty sure this set available for preorder is only the 7 main series novels. I saw the H&S books in person in China and they're beautiful, so if this set doesn't look super beautiful or have SOMETHING better than the H&S set, I'm getting the H&S set instead. The H&S books are all available on amazon.co.uk as well as eBay.

Here are links for books 1-7, WttK, and a copy of the concordance.

The Gunslinger

Drawing of The Three

Waste Lands

Wizard & Glass

Wolves of the Calla

Song of Susannah

The Dark Tower

Wind Through The Keyhole

Dark Tower: Complete Concordance

Sounds like you're looking for a Las Vegas based urban fantasy. The most well known series I can think of is by Vicki Petterson (Book One is The Scent of Shadows. Matt Forbeck also did a book set in Vegas: Vegas Knights. I'm fairly certain a large part of Steven Brust's The Incrementalists takes place in Vegas as well.

There seems to be quite a bit of self-published stuff set in Vegas. Could this have been a self-published story?

Its was a better audio book I lost my copy about 10 years ago

EDIT: The audio was in 3d sound. Like a movie with out pictures. Very cool at the time

I'd suggest Seanan McGuire's Rosemary and Rue.

And honestly, there's heaps out there - Thomas Sniegoski's series featuring the not-quite-fallen angel turned private eye Remy Chandler, Simon R. Green's series about occult superspy Shaman Bond (the first one's called The Man with the Golden Torc) and the Nightside books, Mark Del Franco's Connor Grey series, John Levitt's series (Mason and his magic dog), Rob Thurman's Cal Leandros series ...

If you look those up on Amazon (or your favourite online bookstore), you should find links to other, similar material.

But read Rosemary and Rue first. :)

Okay question 2: how much are you willing to spend? If you get this for her she will marry you on the spot haha
https://www.amazon.com/25th-Anniversary-Special-Stephen-King/dp/1587672707

I'm 90% sure it's these ones:

• Gunslinger
  
• Drawing of the Three
  
• Waste Lands
  
• Wizard and Glass
  
• Wind Through the Keyhole
  
• Wolves of the Calla
  
• Song of Susannah
  
• Dark Tower
  
  
  Links obtained here.

I have The Black Seas of Infinity in my library. That is probably a good sampler to start with.

If you want to read up on the mythos without reading the stories, look in a gaming store for the Call of Cthulhu games.

Also, Barlowe's Inferno (for the work that started it all). He also wrote an additional book called God's Demon, fleshing out some more of the world he created with his paintings.

Edit: With Amazon links now!

The Ridge by John Rector

I just finished this book, and it is so f'n good. Like a Black Mirror or Twilight Zone episode in a book. Creepy and suspenseful.

https://www.amazon.com/Ridge-John-Rector/dp/1503943933/

C S Friedman - Coldfire Trilogy
James Clemens - Banned and the Banished and Godslayer Chronicles God i want the third book so badly to come out.
Peter V Brett - Warded Man
And anything by Brandon Sanderson, that man is a fucking genius.

The short stories are collected in The Watcher Out of Time and Others; the novel is The Lurker at the Threshold.

Don't forget the cheese.

This time.

bam

I very much liked The Lurker At The Threshold (listed as by Lovecraft, though it's Derleth's), though the ending third of the book gets rather stupid. :/ Robert M. Price "rewrote" that part of the story as "The Round Tower" (available in his book Blasphemies & Revelations ) and did a better job.

The Black Seas of Infinity

Currently reading: Lyonesse by Jack Vance.

Next up: The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi or The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg.

Shadowfall

There is a British publisher that has released a set of all 7 that match.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Tower-Gunslinger-Stephen-King/dp/1444723448
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Dark-Tower-Drawing-Three/dp/1444723456
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Waste-Lands-Dark-Tower/dp/1444723464

So on and so forth.

I gotchu, fam.

I'm Horrible.

My favorite book ever

I really like the fantasy books by James Clemens:

The Banned and the Banished Series:
1: Wit'ch Fire, 2: Wit'ch Storm, 3: Wit'ch War, 4: Wit'ch Gate, 5: Wit'ch Star

The Godslayer Series:
1: Shadowfall, 2: Hinterland

James Clemens' Godslayer Chronicles? The living blood, series title and if I remember correctly, the knife were the markers for me. I don't remember airships though. :/

I know this will be controversial among Lovecraft fans, but I would encourage you to start with The Lurker at the Threshold.

Why is it controversial? Well, for starters, it is not clear Lovecraft wrote any of it beyond a rough sketch of how it should proceed. Derleth probably wrote much of it. Which brings me to the second reason why it's a controversial choice: It is, in some parts, horribly written, and this only gets worse as you get closer to the end, when it feels downright rushed.

So why do I recommend starting here? Because to me, it has pretty much all the quintessential Lovecraftian tropes: an isolated house in the New England countryside, old Native American legends, the opening of a portal that brings in more than any human can handle, the horrors that Nature herself can present (I never thought whippoorwills or bullfrogs were creepy... until I read this book), and the slow buildup of the horror which, by the end, surrounds you. Oh, and the story is told from three different points of view, which I think was pretty novel for its time. Reading this book is perfect preparation for reading the rest of his works. I think Derleth, being a huge fan of Lovecraft, wanted to give you the full Lovecraft experience (i.e., one that spanned every aspect of Lovecraftian horror), whereas had Lovecraft written this, you would only get one angle, one slice of the horror.

tl;dr: The Lurker at the Threshold is a controversial choice because it is only partly Lovecraft's work, but it fully immerses you in his world.

• The Outlaw Demon Wails (The Hollows, Book 6)
  
• White Witch, Black Curse (The Hollows Book 7)
