Red Dragon by Thomas Harris.  Meet Hannibal Lecter…for the first time.  This is the story before The Silence of the Lambs, the one that introduced us to the terrifying and unforgettable Dr. Hannibal Lecter.  In the realm of psychological suspense, Thomas Harris stands alone.  Keep the lights on when you read this!
Wildwood Road by Christopher Golden. Michael and Jillian Dansky have it all- successful careers, a bright future and, most of all, a loving marriage. One dark Halloween night, driving home from a masquerade party with Jillian asleep in the back seat, everything changes.  Michael nearly hits a little girl standing in the road. He brings her to the ruined mansion she says is her home, where she leaves him with the eerie plea: “Come find me.”  In the weeks that follow, Jillian turns cruel and vindictive and Michael sees visions of the girl everywhere…
The Night Country by Stewart O’Nan At midnight on Hallowe’en in a cloistered New England suburb, a car carrying five teenagers leaves a winding road and slams into a tree, killing three of them. One escapes unharmed, another suffers severe brain damage. A year later, summoned by the memories of those closest to them, the three that died come back on a last chilling mission among the living.  A strange and unsettling ghost story from the brilliant author Stewart O’Nan.
Snow by Ronald Malfi When a brutal snowstorm shuts down all the flights in and out of Chicago, Todd Curry and a few other stranded passengers rent a Jeep to drive the rest of the way to their destinations. But along a forested, isolated road, they picked up a disoriented man wandering through the snow. His car wouldn’t start and his daughter had vanished. Strangest of all are the mysterious lashes cut into the back of the man’s coat, straight down to the flesh…a page turner must-read for horror fans.
