Top Ten Horror Books

I love Horror, in Books and Film Once I pick up a good book I never want to put it down, In fact once I start reading, a herd of Elephants could rampage through my house and I probably would not notice.

It?s been a while since I?ve read any of these so you?ll have to excuse(or not excuse, I don?t mind ...  Read the complete review
