    "Shatterbrain " by HP Lovecraft 

    Grim, chilling and ruthless. So the shortest todescribe the style of Lovecraft. Not in vain is

    considered one of the kings of horror."Shatterbrain" is a formidable book whose"documentary" narrative makes you forget

    that the story was invented. With eachchapter tension builds up to such levels thatthey are not afraid to stretch yourself further.

    Psychological story that talks about the desire

    to peek at the forbidden corners of knowledgeand skill. Thirst for eternal life, which can

    quench only if you give up everything. Even inhuman nature …

    "The oldest and strong human emotion isfear, is the oldest and intense fear is fear of

    the unknown."

    "Dracula" by Bram Stoker The time has come for a few classics of the genre.

    Is simply absurd, if you thought you miss one ofour favorite (not) dead heroes. More than a

    hundred years with interest the readers read andre-read story shrouded in mystery Vlad Tepes. Webelieve that it will do you. And if that's not enough,

    recently appeared for the original story, the workof the nephew of Bram Stoker. Immerse yourself

     It by Stephen King

    To the children, the town was their whole world.

    To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine was just their hometown: familiar, well-ordered for themost part. A good place to live.

    It was the children who saw - and felt - what madeDerry so horribly different. In the storm drains, inthe sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every

    nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes

    IT reached up, seizing, tearing,killing . . .

    The adults, knowing better, knew nothing.

    “Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. Theylive inside us, and sometimes, they win.”

     Edgar Allan Poe byThe Pit and The Pendulum 

    The blackness of eternal night encompassed me. The

    intense darkness oppressed and stifled me so that I

    struggled for breath.Having been condemned to deathby the Spanish Inquisition, the narrator descends into a

    kind of hell. Dizzy with weakness and fainting with fear,he experiences such torments that death itself would bewelcome. What troubles him most is the eternal

    question: how will he die?Toledo Prison is notorious forthe torture of the condemned. What minds have

    dreamed up the terror of the pit in the center of the cell?What is the significance of the painted figure of Timewith his menacing pendulum? Why do the walls glowwith heat? Experience with the narrator the intensity of

    his suffering when death seems inevitable but its formuncertain.

    “...the agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long

    and final scream of despair.”

    The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty 

    The story is about an innocent young girl, who'spossessed by an ancient demon, an old priest that

    specializes in exorcisms and the research ofdemons, a young priest struggling with his faithafter the death of his mother, and a police

    detective investigating a grisly murder. The bookis engaging, and of course has its intensemoments of supernatural activity and shocking

    moments that might be considered tame bytoday's standards. The truly unsettling thing about

    the book — and what makes it linger as a classic— is how it tackles larger themes about belief andthe unfairness of the world.

    “The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us; buthe will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. His

    attack is psychological, Damien. And powerful.”

    The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft 

    The development of the Cthulhu mythology is allabout the lingering slow burn. Lovecraft often

    follows a pattern in his short stories: an educatedman encounters an ancient horror so vast andbeyond comprehension that he is driven mad by

    the mere thought or glimpse. Despite all of ourcivilization and education, we're powerless pawnsagainst a large brutal universe of half-glimpsed

    horrors. Despite being such a famous property,there hasn't been much of an attempt to bring it tothe big screen. There just isn't much to see,

    instead the subtle and dense prose builds up athick mythology of cosmic horror.

    “I have looked upon all the universe has to hold ofhorror, and even the skies of spring and flowers of

    summer must ever afterward be poison to me.”

    A Choir of Ill Children: Tom Piccirilli 

    Twisted Southern gothic at its finest, it followsThomas, the wealthiest member of a wasted

    society called Kingdom Come. He lives with hisbrothers, conjoined triplets who share a brain andwhose descriptions are nightmarish to say the

    least.There’s also witches, dog-kickers, suicide, one-legged murderers, and so much more. But to say

    anything else could potentially ruin thiswonderfully weird tale, so I recommend justchecking it out for yourself.

    “Ghosts will forever put in appearances, as they

    should. Our illusions have muscle and meaning.The past returns at midnight, in the heart of ourdreams, and the rains and the willows forever

    remind us of the sacrifices we’ve offered and

    those we have yet to make.”
