Question
HI JOHN,  I AM LOOKING TO BUY A GREAT HORROR BOOK.  I LOVE READING STEPHEN KING BOOKS.  I THINK "IT" WAS MY FAVORITE SO FAR.  I ALSO LIKE HORROR STORIES ABOUT VAMPIRES, BUT HAVE NEVER READ A VAMPIRE BOOK.  SO, MY QUESTION IS; WHAT IS THE SCARIEST HORROR BOOK THAT YOU HAVE EVER READ?  ACTUALLY I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 5 SCARIEST BOOKS ON YOUR LIST.  I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHERE TO PURCHASE THEM ON THE WEB OR ELSE WHERE.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.  DAN THE HORROR MAN.

Answer
Dear Dan,

Thank you for your letter. I think "It " was  excellent too. If you really want to read a good vampire book may I suggest Stephen King's Salem's Lot? This is a very scary vampire book.

Here is my list of the five top scary Horror books that I have read-

(1)Immortal Blood by Barbara Hambly( This vampire would NEVER sit still for an interview!)

(2)James's Herbert's Domain( BIG rats that go bump in the night!)

(3)Dan Simmons Summer Of night (Spooky happenings in small town America in the 1950's)

(4) December by Phil Rickman ( Ghosts and Ghoulies in England)

(5)The Wine Of Angels by Phil Rickman (This guy really rocks!)

You can buy all of these books online at www.amazon.com or www.biblioz.com.au

Happy reading!
