This brings back memories of 'The Fog'. I still can't see a pair of garden shears without feeling uneasy [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Fog is another great book, is a shame the films based on his books have all been crap (Survivor, Fluke and Haunted). I think his stuff is much better than Stephen King, but Shaun Hutson is the king of british horrer to my mind.

The entire Wizard of Oz series. And if you still have the books, they are quite valuable.

Haven't read Hutson, but no way is Herbert better than King!

Read any Guy N. Smith, with the giant crabs, and stuff like that. Talk about grand guignol pulp horror. They were the horror equivalent of tabloid papers, and I used to love em!

"Big Friendly Giant."

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh man this book gave me the first fear (that I remember) that I ever had to conquer. For a few years I was afraid to look out the window b/c I thought I'd see a giant and he'd take me to his village. So I never looked out the window during the night.

Underrated terrifying book.

Ender's Game

This is still one of my favorite books. I re-read it pretty much every year.

The Xanth series by Piers Anthony really got me into the fantasy genre. The Tripod Trilogy got me into sci-fi. Many of the other books listed here were favorites as well.

Oh nice, I forgot all about this series. The Xanth series was fukin sweet. I can still see random images in my head from cool scenes in these books--ie-the castle with the cool protective entities. However, I only sort of liked the Tripod Trilogy; I remember thinking some parts were kind of lame.
