At the Mountains of Madness and other Macabre Tales - Dagon and other Macabre Tales - Dunwich Horror and others - The Horror in the Museum and other Revisions - Must be the Arkham House corrected versions.

Bleak House - Charles Dickens

The Castle of Otranto - Horace Walpole

Jaws - Peter Benchley

The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde

The Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham

The Collected Stories of Gogol - any publisher's collection (mine is Folio Society)

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving

The Devils of Loudon - Aldous Huxley

In Cold Blood - Truman Capote

I know I've just picked all the heavy weight, genre defining works but they are my favourites, probably because they're the best. Anyway, it's a Top 100 list we're compiling, not a 'lets impress everyone with my knowledge of lesser known works' list.

If we don't expand the list beyond the top 10 most popular books of horror, how are we ever to compile a top 100? As the Prez said in the first post, this is not the time to criticize people's choices, now is the time to brainstorm.

My edition doesn't have The LOved Dead in it which is one of the weirdest Lovecraft Stories (collaborations) :(

Neverending - do you have any info on whether Lovecraft really worked on 'The Loved Dead' or it was all just C. M. Eddy?

Both of the Lovecraft biographies I have are in storage, and that story doesn't ring a bell...
