Terror Knows No Boundaries With These Translated Horror Novels

"Scary things happen all over the world—in different regions, different countries, and occasionally different dimensions.

So why limit yourself to horror novels originally written in English? We've gathered here 24 specimens of translated horror for the discerning cosmopolitan reader. The collection includes novels and short story collections, with an eye toward celebrating the wide world of terror. Tragedy in Korea. Spooky old houses in Iceland. Ambulating corpses in Iraq. Also: cursed bunnies and decapitated chickens."
