There are very few books that hold a reader's imagination in a way that there seems to be no escape. The thrills of a particularly good horror book can be quite exhilarating. Many eBook sites like Mediabinn are aware of the fact and have included as many titles as they can of the Horror genre. Some of the cult classics that have withheld the tides of time are included in this list.
1. Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti
While most of the reader's won't recognize Ligotti's name, the die hard followers of the horror genre would be well aware about it. Some people would also be aware of him through some indirect works. The TV show True Detective borrowed some of the character traits directly from Ligotti's works.
2. Twilight by William Gay
Unlike the modern Twilight Saga with vampires falling in love with humans, Gay's Twilight is set in a Southern Gothic prose with grave robbing teenagers, grieving, and brutal killings that happen to take place in 50s Tennessee.
3. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
The premise of The Haunting of Hill House may be familiar to many readers. This is because Shirley Jackson has influenced many imitators. A scientist gathers a group of people to research into the paranormal activities of a house with deadly consequences. Jackson is one of the greatest writers of America and she continues to grasp the reader's attention through her horror novels.
There are many other horror titles worth mentioning, like White is for Witching, The Devil in Silver etc. You can read similar titles on eBook websites like Mediabinn. Get in the mood for some thrill and fear!
