Heart-Shaped Box
Horns
House of Small Shadows
The Lesser Dead
Red Rain
The Ritual
The Savage Dead
The Small Hand and Dolly
The Terror

The Woman in Black

I really liked The Woman in Black. It's one of very few books that has a movie adaptation that is really quite different from the book, but where I like both the book and the movie independently of each other, rather than resenting the movie for not being more like the book... Where I think the primary theme of the movie is actually loss, rather than horror, the book is very much purely about fear.

I'm reading Horns now. I kept seeing articles about the movie and then the book got turned in..so I picked it up. So far not bad.
