The 100 Scariest Horror Novels of All Time

Compiling a Top 100 list isn't easy. I'm bound to offend some and win over others. That's the nature of the beast, I suppose. Whether you agree with this list or not, you should be able to track down a few new treasures you've been missing out on, and you've got time to line up some reading material for Halloween. Anticipate loads of familiar names to fill this one up (a few are featured multiple times), but don't be shocked if you stumble upon some fresh names as well. Check it out, from vintage classic to modern masterpiece, novella to full-length novel, these are the greatest 100 horror books on the market!
