Lisey's Story - Stephen King

Fascinating, surprisingly poignant

Takes a very long time to get going, may alienate some of King's fans without winning new ones

The Shining - Stephen King

Gripping, enthralling and thought-provoking read

Warning: wide-spread use of low language (which is absolutely justifiable, though)

Carrie - Stephen King

blow your mind

Omnibus: At the Mountains of Madness - H.P Lovecraft

A mix of creepy and unsettling horror that will scare the socks of you

Wordy, lacking in gore, the last three stories are more sci-fi/fantasy

Master of Murder - Christopher Pike

nice, likeable main character

ending feels like a bit of a cop out

Carrion Comfort - Dan Simmons

Epic novel that works on very many levels and is a gripping and enthralling tale

Goes on a little too long at times but end result is worth the effort
