Kelly’s picks: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Apparently the best ghost story ever. ‘The Call Of Cthulhu’ and Other Weird Stories by H. P. Lovecraft. Horror writers aspire to be ‘Lovecraftian’, so that tells you a lot. Pet Sematary by Stephen King. According to Kelly, a B-movie horror in book form. Apparently this is a good thing. Coraline by Neil Gaiman. Don’t be put off by the fact that this is ostensibly a children’s book. It’s really scary.
