Perlle's "100 Best Horror Books"

Add to my lists | Print this list

The original list is <a href="http://www.listsofbests.com/list/29566">here</a>. I decided to make a list that only I can change. I am attempting not to duplicate any book, album, or film in my allconsuming list. So quite a few of the works on the original list do not work for me.

<i>The link for the original list is the community one and better to adopt.</i>
