my list of books to read so far is:
The Dark, James Herbert
The Hungry Moon, Ramsey Campbell
Apartment 16, Adam Nevill
Keep the suggestions coming! I do appreciate it.

I love
The Thing on the Shore. So different to much of the stuff out there. Have you read
The Leaping or
The Ravenglass Eye, both also by Fletcher? They're great reads too, and also quite unique both in style and presentation.
Apartment 16 by Adam Nevill is one of my favourite horror novels of all time. It really had a big impact on me when reading. The way he portrayed fear, panic and also decay in parts of his prose really blew me away.
I haven't yet read
Hungry Moon but it's on my list.
Ancient Images by Ramsey Campbell is also an enjoyable read. Really had quite a Wicker Man-vibe to it I felt.
If you're looking for the non-traditional then I'd suggest possibly
Last Days by Adam Nevill, or for something really 'out there' I'd look at either
House of Fallen Trees by Gina Ranalli or
Strangers by Taichi Yamada. Both left quite an impact on me - for good or bad :cool: But I'd definitely recommend reading them.
