[CALIBK12] Horror Fiction

[Katz, Lori]

Megan,
 
I don't like scary books either but I was able to read these and tolerate them.
 
Coraline  by Neil Gaiman
How to  Disappear Completely and Never be Found (one the scariest books I've read) by
Sara Nickerson
 
Three Days by Donna Jo Napoli
 
Demonkeeper by Royce Buckingham has a comic edge to it.

Hello the list,

All right I admit it, the horror genra is not my favorite.  I'd even go so far as to say I avoid it.  I don't like to be frightened...but junior highers do.  I have a serious lack of scary books in my library, oh I have a few short story books, and I do have the vampire books by Shan, Klaus, Atwater-Rhodes & Westerfield, but nothing by Stephen King or Dean Koontz, I just don't think they are appropriate for a junior high library....  I need some recommendations for great horror novels that I can add in time for the October rush.  I need all levels because I have beginning readers all the way through mensa kids.  I will put together a hit list and publish it here.

Thanks for your input, this is what the people on this list are great at.
