Where's my Horror Gone?
I've been an avid horror reader since I read my first Stephen King book, which was Dreamcatcher when I was 11 or 12, since then I've read most of King's work and branched out into all the popular horror authors.
Now I find myself not being able to find any more good horror, I'm sure there is still some out there, but it feels like I've read everything. :P Can anyone recommend me something to read? Perhaps by newcomers, or more obscure works, or books that just didn't get the sales and praise they deserved? I'm not so much into gross out horror, I prefer creepy, eerie and mind bending. Perhaps even Lovecraftian? Thanks.

Barker's the Damnation Game is less grossout than his other work and very satisfying as horror. I'd also recommend Steve and Melanie Rasnick Tem's the Man on the Ceiling. Joe Hill's Heartshaped Box did not disappoint genre buffs either. I'd recommend picking up an antho called Poe's Children. It's a healthy survey of the genre today, I'd say.

No problem. Also, Robert Mc Cammon. Boy's Life is incredible.
