Jones & Newman's "Horror: Another 100 Best Books (Addendum to Recommended Reading List)"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Stephen Jones & Kim Newman’s Horror: 100 Best Books (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/29566 ) included a "Recommended Reading list (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/29606 ) at the back, with over 250 more books suggested. When they published Horror: Another 100 Best Books (http://www.listsofbests.com/list/35260 ) in 2005, they also updated the recommended reading list at the back. This is a list of those updates: only books that are new to the list are on this one.

In the book, Carrion Comfort , By Bizarre Hands, The Grotesque, and The Nightmare Factory are mistakenly still on this list, even though they’re on the main "Another 100," so I’ve left them off here. Also, the book lists 3 volumes of The Collected Fiction of William Hope Hodgson separately (since each was published in a different year), so they appear on this list more than once.

The list is chronological in order of publication.
