Horror Aficionados discussion

Calling all horror writers! (OK that's over dramatic... sorry) I know there are horror writers here as well as horror lovers, so my question is aimed at YOU.

What are your favorite (most useful to you) "How to Write Horror" books?

I think we can all put Steven King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft right here at the top because it seems to appear on every single list like this I have ever seen. Although if you didn't like his, be my guest and say so!

Thanks in advance!

Given your misuse of "you're" in the title of your post, I'd suggest Strunk and White's Elements of Style. (Said tongue in cheek, not meant to be nasty!)

How to Write a Damn Good Novel by James N. Frey has been extensively useful in my development as a writer. You're never too seasoned to learn more about writing and I think that book allows prospective writers to understand (or if not, at least, remember) crucial fundamentals.

Thanks for the suggestion, although thats not specifically horror. I'll give it a look anyway :-) cant hurt! lol

How to Write Suspense Fiction by Patricia Highsmith. I so much wanted to enjoy King's but found it disappointingly thin in substance (not size).
