Does anyone know some great horror books? If the horror genre in literature is anything like the horror genre in cinema I'm guessing 99% is awful but there are some golden nuggets hidden among the garbage. Anyone know what they are?


Answer
Scott Sigler's Infected
Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas ( I like Brother Odd best but they are better if you can read in order)

What is a great book you've read recently that I might enjoy?

I love to read but always have a hard time finding a good book on my own.
Right now I am in the mood for either a horror/thriller/mystery or good fantasy but I'm open to any other suggestions as well.

Answer
The Dresden Files is a series of contemporary fantasy/mystery novels written by Jim Butcher. He provides a first person narrative of each story from the point of view of the main character, private investigator and wizard Harry Dresden, as he recounts investigations into supernatural disturbances in modern-day Chicago.In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real, along with ghouls, vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, and other mythical monsters. Harry Dresden works to protect the general public, who are ignorant of magic and the dark forces conspiring against them. This makes it difficult for Harry to get by as a working wizard and private eye. The Chicago PD's Special Investigation unit, when led by Karrin Murphy, regularly employs Dresden as a consultant to help solve cases of a supernatural nature.

The White Council, the recognized governing body of Wizards, has decreed the Seven Laws of Magic, which all magic users are expected to follow. Breaking any of the laws carries a death sentence except under very rare and special circumstances. In The Dresden Files universe, each species (humans, faeries, vampires, etc.) has its own political and societal rules and organizations. The human wizards depend on the White Council, while faeries may belong to either the Summer or Winter courts, or they may belong to neither court, in which case they are known as Wyldfae. Vampires may belong to any of three vampire Courts, be it the White, Red, or Black Court. There are rumours of a Jade court based in the far east.
