The English Teacher Reflects: Great Horror Reads

Our maverick English Teacher and genre enthusiast looks at some of his favorite books in the horror/dark fantasy genre, and comes up with 100 books that just might scare the crap out of the reader ( or at least make him or her extremely uneasy). As always, the list is personal and idiosyncratic, and should not be taken to be "Best of…" list.
