Lists of Bests: Shannon's "Small Town Horror Reading List" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/57314 A horror sub-genre when a small town is affected by something horrific. Note: With some exceptions, short story collections, young adult fiction and series have been eliminated if so identified. Also, I have striven to include high-quality books only.
