The Definitive Horror Book List, Per Goodreads - Page 2

This list is troll-free. Well, a couple of the books may have troll characters, I can't be sure, but the creator of the list warned aspiring authors against using it to plug their own books and unless Stephen King has multiple personalities (not impossible, if you think about it), that seems to have worked.
