I also loved Lord Foul's Bane. I've always planned on re-reading.

[Ryan]

I am not sure if this was already nominated but I nominate "Skelton Crew" . It would be great for discussion since there are a variety of stories. please someone second it. :)

I say The Cellar by Laymon, S.K. says he is very good!

[Dslone]

I am going to read "Cell" by Steven King.

Laymon is very good and so is the Cellar! There are few books to this series. I have read many books by him and it saddened me to know that Richard Laymon had died.

[Dslone]

Wow, really? So sad!

Yea 2001 I believe. He also wrote under the name Richard Kelly. But most of the books I have are as Richard Laymon.

Yw, when I first read about it, I had pretty much just discovered his work and was sad to know that there would be no more written. So I started buying as many as I could.

Why are there so many nominations for King books? Isn't this supposed to be for non-King books this month?

Lot's of great noms too! I am going to have a hard time deciding!

[Becky]

Angie we have read GHost Story already. That should come off the list.

[Chris , The Hardcase]

The first Thomas Covenant chronicle should be listed as Lord Foul's Bane.

[Brent]

Summer of Night since it didn't get in on the last S.K. recommendation group read.

[Eren]

BREED ! The reviews are great - mostly that it's original and darkly comic - so I'm curious - EC

[Evil]

I choose

[Jeannie]

Not only is this spooky - it is also a true story!
Fighting the Devil: A True Story of Consuming Passion, Deadly Poison, and Murder

And this was recommended by Stephen King in which book or article? Please cite.

I like the thought of reading anything scary for October. Hell House sounds like a good one :-) I would like to recommend Carrion Comfort. "Carrion Comfort" is one of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century. Simple as that." -- Stephen King

I nominated it earlier in the thread. I finished reading it last week. Blew my mind! One of the best I've read in awhile.

[Patrice]

The Woman in Black been dying to read this.

[Meg]

I nominate Something Wicked This Way Comes.

[Jasmine]

I absolutely loved 'Interview with the Vampire', but I'd nominate 'Dracula' since it's been sitting on my shelf for a while just waiting for me to sink my teeth into it.

[Holly]

I nominate A Prayer for Owen Meany or something by Dean Koontz. :)

[Angie, Constant Reader]

Nominations are now CLOSED!! Poll will be up soon!

ooooooo.......spooky! :)

[April]

If you haven't read, Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon, I highly recommend it.

[April]

Also, The Collector, John Fowles Is considered to be one of the first psychological thrillers. The book also had "copy cats" who copied the crime of the main character. Interesting read.

[Catherine]

I will cast a vote for The Passage since I think I may need to re-read it before I start The Twelve which comes out October 16th.

[Pamela]

I loved this book....I have read it twice lol Lord Foul's Bane

I vote for this book by Dan Simmons"

I also vote for this book - it is AMAZING and a great creepy read for October.

[Chris , The Hardcase]

If y'all want to vote for a book, you should do it on the poll rather than in the nomination thread.
