The Aging Monster Kid Reflects - 50 Horror Classics

50 classic, modern classic, and soon-to-be classic horror novels and story collections chosen by a life-long horror geek. This is not an"all time greatest" list; just 50 books that have scared me and stuck with me. I've limited the list to 1 book per author; otherwise it would be all King, Matheson, and McCammon.
