Any good obscure horror books or stories?
Jude the Obscure (Dover Thrift Editions)Powerful and controversial from its 1895 publication to the present, Jude the Obscure scandalized Victorian critics, who condemned it as decadent, indecent, and degenerate. Between its frank portrayals of sexuality and its indictments of marriage, religion, and England's class system, the novel offended a broad swath of readers. Its heated reception led the embittered author to renounce fiction, turning his considerable talents ever afterward to writing poetry.Hardy's last novel depicts a changing world, where a poor stonemason can aspire to a university education and a higher place in society — but where in reality such dreams remain unattainable. Thwarted at every turn, Jude Hawley abandons his hopes, is trapped into an unwise marriage, and pursues a doomed relationship with his free-spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. The lovers find themselves equally incapable of living within the conventions of their era and of transcending its legal and moral strictures. Hailed by modern critics as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought, Hardy's tragic parable continues to resonate with readers.

Where can you find good horror stories to read?
Your local library is filled with a whole horror section just waiting for you to read them. The little books are sitting there, free for you to borrow, and devour their pages with your eyes and mind (or fingertips if you are Blind and read Braille).You can go to Amazon Books, DVDs & more and look up horror novels. You will have to pay for them or purchase a subscription to read unlimited books for free, but at least this way your money will go to the author at least in part.If you want to read free horror, go to Creepypasta - Paranormal stories and short horror microfiction and read the ones that are the highest rated. I have found a few publication-worthy fiction pieces there, and every once in a while I’ll find one that’s a fun read even if it’s not ready for publishing.
Who write good horror books?
Some of Stephen King's stuff is good. I personally didn't like IT but it's kind of like what you're describing. Carrie is good for a first novel, and I started Green Mile but I haven't finished it so I can't really tell you. R.L. Stein wrote Goosebumps which are good for kids. I would see if he wrote young adult too because he might have and that would be worth looking into as well.
Good Horror Books Anyone?
I love books about ghosts and haunted house! Can anyone recommend any really good ones? I recently read The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert & loved it!
Is this a good plot for a horror story?
Sounds interesting The flashbacks to the murder is good, A suggestion; Maybe the ghost can only rest when the black man (the ghosts lover) is freed from jail and proved innocent. Maybe while possesed by the ghost, the hero is able to get a crucial clue/evidence of the murder. Then the hero feels she must act and prove the innocence of the ghosts lover, maybe he ends up with the house in the end. Just thought that would be cool. You have some good material, keep working at it. email me if you want we could talk more its rubixcube737@yahoo.com im Brad

What are some good horror story plot ideas?
Quantum reality shift in people as scientists mess with entanglement. Books that can evolve into lifeforms and attack people by tricking them with words. Clocks that are living like the books and change into people when nobody is around or when they want to cause harm. Mirror world that can effect this one without us knowing. Kinda like a race of aliens that have god powers over us but never let us find out. People created by an evil god same world as today's but with evil and more evil. Time stops for a person and then restarts with them being put into ever incressingly harmful problems. A person is let lose on the world that has been trained to live at all costs even if that means killing and eating his prey in any form. But that person does not have the intelligence to live peacefuly in a normal enviorment so they are constantly killing and eating weaker things. Take it from that persons perspective on how much life hates life itself. The screwtape letters reversed. A demon that is trying to figure out why its working for satan to trick humans but has to fight both satan and the human it was tricking.
