Add to my lists | Print this list

From the 1988 book Horror: 100 Best Books edited by Stephen Jones & Kim Newman. It’s a collection of essays by “leading horror writers” about their nominations for best horror stories/novels.

This is the List of Recommended Reading from the back of the book. It features "important works and authors [that] have been unavoidably overlooked or forgotten" in the 100 Best.

The list of the Best 100 Books is here: http://www.listsofbests.com/list/29566. (And here’s a link to the book itself: http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/566934.)

The list is chronological by date of publication.
