After looking at the books King recommends I will nominate
though with so many of the previous nominations already on my TBR list, I would be happy to read any of them.

I am not sure if this was already nominated but I nominate "Skelton Crew" . It would be great for discussion since there are a variety of stories. please someone second it. :)
I say The Cellar by Laymon, S.K. says he is very good!
I am going to read "Cell" by Steven King.

Why are there so many nominations for King books? Isn't this supposed to be for non-King books this month?

Lot's of great noms too! I am going to have a hard time deciding!
Angie we have read GHost Story already. That should come off the list.
BREED ! The reviews are great - mostly that it's original and darkly comic - so I'm curious - EC
Not only is this spooky - it is also a true story!Fighting the Devil: A True Story of Consuming Passion, Deadly Poison, and Murder

And this was recommended by Stephen King in which book or article? Please cite.
I like the thought of reading anything scary for October. Hell House sounds like a good one :-) I would like to recommend Carrion Comfort. "Carrion Comfort" is one of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century. Simple as that." -- Stephen King

I nominate Something Wicked This Way Comes.
I absolutely loved 'Interview with the Vampire', but I'd nominate 'Dracula' since it's been sitting on my shelf for a while just waiting for me to sink my teeth into it.
I nominate A Prayer for Owen Meany or something by Dean Koontz. :)

Also,
The Collector, John Fowles Is considered to be one of the first psychological thrillers. The book also had "copy cats" who copied the crime of the main character. Interesting read.
I will cast a vote for The Passage since I think I may need to re-read it before I start The Twelve which comes out October 16th.

I also vote for this book - it is AMAZING and a great creepy read for October.
