rashore Posted January 1, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I've been reading a handful of spooky smut recently if you like that sort of thing. Kim Harrison writes some decent stuff, not really smutty, more of a powerful women sort of thing. Brian Lumley writes some interesting stuff, lots of science vampirish style. I'm reading one of his right now that's not that, it's an odd alien transmuting a part of the world and effing with some people kind of weirdness, and it's pretty good so far.

Simbi Laveau Posted March 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Do the Kim Harrison books.Do them in order.Theyre about a witch called Rachel Morgan.Shes a detective,who's partners are a vampire and a foul mouth pixie.I love it. Im also particularly fond of the Pendergast series by Lincoln and Child. Not occult per se,but he comes across some mighty weird stuff. He's an FBI agent ,who takes only bizarre cases. Born and raised in Louisiana ,in a family with some criminally insane characters. The first book,Relic,was made into a movie,with his character removed.FAIL .Awesome series. I love him.I named one of my cats after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you mentioned fiction, but "The Carver Effect" is a really good book if you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only read a couple of Dean Koontz books because there is only so much I can take of scary! But he is really good. He pulls you into his books and holds you there, in suspense, in fear, in intrigue, in horror, in hope. http://www.deankoontz.com/fiction What about the all-time Queen of Occult, Anne Rice? I thought about her too. I think Dan Brown is interesting too. Edited March 6, 2012 by regeneratia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted March 6, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I finished up the Nightwatch series by Sergei Lukyanenko recently, and that was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapirmusic Posted March 6, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I recommend trying out Peter Straub. He has collaborated with Stephen King a few times and has a similar style. I really liked "The Throat" and "A Dark Matter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbi Laveau Posted March 7, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well old Ann Rice is ok ,but the new stuff....wtf. If you like old stuff,reading Salem's Lot is worth it,also Ghost Story . And what about Clive Barkers Books of Blood.Those are very lovecraft-esque. He wrote a ton of books long before Hellraiser came out. The only short from a book of blood,that im sure was made into a movie,was Midnight Meat Train. Hellraiser,Re animator,and From Beyond ,I believe all started as manuscripts .

Leah G. Posted March 10, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Can I plug my own book?
