Pippileatherstocking's Favorite Horror Novels & Story Collections

These are my favorites out of every horror novel I have read in my life. So if it's missing your favorite, either I didn't like it as much or I haven't gotten to it.
Somehow when I alphabetized these the TJ Klune series wound up in backwards order.
Maybe I'll make another list when I have more favorite scary books.
