Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The Shinning! by Steven King its the best and the scariest!!!!! You'll be so scared you'll have to call your best friend!!!!!!! lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

read IT
STEPHEN KING in general!.
also, Darren Shan is pretty horrorlicious!. not really though!.
more aimed at young adults!.
and also, SCI-FI illium is pretty gory!. dan simmons writes in general "adult" science fiction, so i you can deal with everything else in the book, there is plenty of horror in there for youWww@QuestionHome@Com

well I heard that these two books are really good
But they're not horror, not really!.!.!.

Certain Slant of Light By Laura Whitcomb
And
Twilight By Stephenie Meyer

They're both leaning on the romantics
The first one is about ghosts and the second book is a about a girl who falls in love with a vampire!!!

I've been meaning to buy them!

Have you seen "The Ring" films!? They're actually based on the book series, and the novels are farther into the storyline than the films!.

These have been translated into English, of course!.!.!.
