151 Horror Stories You Should Read - Page 2

151 horror stories I've read and would recommend. Some classics aren't included because I haven't read them yet. Some authors aren't included because I don't like their books.
(You'll notice some overlap with NPR's top 100 scary stories, because I've been using that as a reading challenge for years.)
