F.Paul Wilson–The Keep, The Tomb, The Select, (all of his books are great, but a lot of them are within the Adversary Cycle and the Repairman Jack series which you really need to read in order. The ones listed above work great as standalones.)
Bentley Little–The Resort and the Policy (though one part in that one still bothers me)
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Tell Tale Heart and anything else by Edgar A. Poe
The Shining and anything else by Stephen King
Shadowmancer by G. P. Taylor
I recommend Carrie.
Others are the shining,
Cell
It
stephen king is great.
also patricia cornwell.
she’s an amazing crime novelist.
it’s not so much horror
though the murders in her books are pretty horrific,
and very suspenseful :]
You’ve already received a lot of good suggestions, but I’ll add a few more.
-Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz (the whole series)
-The Face by Dean Koontz
-The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz (and others of his)
-Pet Semetary by Stephen King (I remember my brother had nightmares because of this one)
-The Shining by Stephen King
-Carrie by Stephen King (and others of his)
-The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe (or his The Pit and the Pendulum)
-The Oath by Frank Peretti
-anything by Vince Flynn (thrillers) starting with Term Limits
-Ghost Story by Peter Straub
-The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe (Gothic)
-The Italian by Ann Radcliffe
-The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
-The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
