I’ve always loved fantasy, but I’ve started to have a growing interest in horror. I read one horror book a while ago, and I liked so much that I kinda want to know what else I could read. I really don’t know how to get into these things, and I really want to know what books I should start with. Any ideas?

Check out Poe.
Horror is a broad genre with lots of different avenues to explor
What are some things you like to read about?
What was it you liked about the horror book?
In general I think Stephen King is a good place to start. Carrie, Misery, or Salems Lot would be my picks.
Stephen King and Peter Straub!
Kathe koja, particularly Bad Brains
Haunting Of Hill House – Just fantastic atmosphere
Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus – Do not let its many film adaptations or pop culture memes, Shelly was writing genuine literature.
Terror Town – **Gore**
Fall of the House of Usher – Poe makes beautiful dread
Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son) NOS4A2 or Heart shaped box.
