Ranking: TOP 5 Horror Novels: Ranking Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, and More: The Weekly Reader

I almost put American Psycho on this list as well but in my opinion American Psycho could be on this list not because of the horror of the horror of the things that Patrick Bateman is doing but because it's so impossible to look away from it while Patrick Bateman is doing it

so am I a fan of the actual words of the novel not really is this a novel that would give me nightmares no not really is this a novel that changed the way I read a little bit

the interesting thing to me as far as the horror part of this novel is concerned is the town of Derry in this novel the town of Derry acts almost like a collective unconscience

there's two real main reasons if you ask me but the number one reason is that Pros that prose is so striking that prose is there to lull you to sleep

this novel is about a woman desperate to live her life but she just does not know how and isn't that all of us

the thing that's most interesting here to me is that Jack Torrance wants to be a good father he really does you can tell it from his character you can tell it in the things he tells himself but he gets lost he gets lost in himself

the character as written by Thomas Harris is as scary a big bad as you could ever hope to find in literature Point Blank period

Mary Catherine Blackwood the narrator of this novel is such a trip that when things start going really weird in the last third or so of the novel you're just along for the ride
