Reading Fantasy / Horror in September 2026

[AtramentousFlux]

My suggestions instead were ...

Thoughts?

Not The Stand? That's my go to recommendation.

 

[Hobbit]

Thanks, Atramentous. This was for a person new to horror & SK. I thought The Stand would be a little like IT and put them off King's other books - not because of the story, but because of the length.

 

[Hobbit]

Have any of you ever read Ramsey Campbell ? He's a Uk writer quite prolific and quite good or so ive found him to be . I've read several of his books , he's what you might call an either or writer meaning either you like him or don't there's no middle ground with him.
The Hungry Moon
Midnight Sun
Ancient Images
Cold Print

My favire sing short story by him Down There .

Yes: and Ramsey knows me (which sounds weird) - I've been lucky enough to meet him a few times.

I envy you that.

Ive recommend him to alot of people over the years of the books i've list my favorite on on that is The Hungry Moon. . I love the slow build up the atmospheric and creeping dread and the ending , Epic horror. And very definitely Lovcratain .

The short story that listed Down There that one has change my outlook on elevators and not in good way ! That story story scarred crap out of me !
