Kbear's 50-100 Best Horror Novels of All Time Multiple Lists

I googled 50 best horror novels of all time and came up with these lists. I have put them back to back, yes there are repeats but actually far less then I expected. Then at the very end I just threw in some of my own reads that I found scary. I believe this starts at #351...
