Silvia Moreno-Garcia: Horror Picks to Take Your Reading Beyond Stephenkingitis

"Recently, we have witnessed a resurgence of horror fiction in stores and libraries. We can thank books such as Stephen Graham Jones' The Only Good Indians, Grady Hendrix's The Final Girl Support Group, or Alma Katsu's The Hunger for showing publishers and booksellers that horror has some life left in it. Truth be told, horror is like a poltergeist that keeps rattling the dishes and won't be exorcised.

But despite these successes, there's still a fair amount of Stephenkingitis, which is the reason I'm penning this list of lesser-known horror titles. So no, Stephen King does not appear on this list, and neither does Clive Barker of the iconic Books of Blood, nor the queen of the undead, Anne Rice. But I hope we can dig up the coffins and unearth some hidden gems—or skeletons—for you." - Silvia Moreno-Garcia
