A Bone-Chilling List of the 19 Best Horror Books

Stephen King's master class in horror manages to be just as scary on the page as in the movie theater. Jack Torrance takes care of an old hotel in the mountains for the winter offseason and brings his wife and 5-year-old son Danny along with him. Something about the hotel seems off, and as sinister forces gather around Danny, they descend on Jack as well. "The Shining" ($12) is a true horror classic.
