Benjamin (ben21) Mine would be Scars on the Face of God: The Devils Bible by C. G. Bauer.

Great book, and although the title leads you to think its a satanic text, it really is not. Its really simular to something that S. King would write, but in some ways better.

Rachel 20th Century Ghosts...I still think there are horror fans out there need to give Joe Hill's short story collection some notice.

Patrick (horrorshow) | 1 comments Let the Right One in is a fine choice of a book that might not be known by the mainstream horror.

That's one of the scariest books I've read too. Sometimes, nothing is more frightening than facts.

I'm going to echo the Joe Hill recommendations. 20th Century Ghosts and Heart-Shaped Box are wonderful. I can't wait to read more of his work. He's not as prolific as his dad though.
