Suggest Me Some Good English Horror/Ghost/Paranormal novels/Books

Have you read Stephen King before? He tends to have the horror genre down well.

A few suggestions: IT, Dreamcatcher The Stand and Carrie.

My all time favourite spooky read is: Mary Shelley's Frakenstein ;p

I did not read many horrors/ghost/paranormal... but for horror, I'd say Wuthering Heights... There is brutality, some sort of darkness and a lil touch of spookiness in this story. The rawness of certain characters, just the psychological and emotional impact the novel had on me was scary.. 😆 It's realistic and has some madness, hence scary.

I totally get it. It's a really dark tale full of brutality and madness and it is a pretty disturbing read. In fact the way the book begins clearly hints at the paranormal. And if nothing else it elicits so many emotions. Probably the reason why it's been clubbed under Gothic fiction.

If you're interested there are some other realistic horror tales you can check out 😉: The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and some of Louisa Alcott's works (yeah she's the one who wrote Little Women 😆)

Funny how all such tales were mostly written by women back then 🤔

It disturbed me for a few days...I dont even wanna say :(

@bold --- exactly! And Wuthering Heights was first novel to have horror content in it.. wonder why is it like that though, the Bronte sisters had a different familial background, so their gloominess is quite understandable... but even the others were women, why is that?

Thankyou Zephyr 😃 I've already taken mental note on the ones you mentioned above. Just that I am a little careful about picking a book with horror content as I cannot afford to lose my brain right now 😆
