I guess it's true.

Yeah. I startle easily! If something genuinely scary were to happen to me--such as a cold hand grabbing my ankle while I'm lying in bed--I think I'd die of fright. No kidding.

(That never really happens, does it? I mean, is that a thing?)

I am not big on horror books with a lot of Gore. I do like a good suspense story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Any suggestions?

The Dreamhouse Kings books by Robert Liparulo--very suspenseful (starting near the end of book #1, and continuing through all six books). There are some injuries as I recall, but I don't think there's anything graphic or gruesome. Russell, do you remember better than I do?

My pick is a series by first time author and former military serviceman d.j mollis...aftermath it is so riviting. Im 42 but thanks to twd tv series i have rediscovered my love of zombies...having said that i first picked aftermath up on a dare from my autistic son to read something out of my box. Reading the blurb i thought zombies.
Boy was i wrong they are called infected and zombies are angels compared to these guys. I finished book one and two in two days i literally jumped at shadows and double checked my exits...the writing of this series was so fast paced and my adrinaline was in over drive the entire time. The way he ended each book felt like a next on...every ending was a cliff hanger. Im telling u guys check out this series i loved it and im a steadfast paranormal romance kinda gal...thanks for this topic huh i was wondering what i was gonna read next guess im rereading aftermath...lol

Nothing graphic that I can recall. :eusa-think:

I love this genre choice! Horror has always been one of my favorite genres to read, but it's been such a long time since I read a good horror novel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You startle easily too? Well, you may not be the ideal candidate, but I need someone to go with me down to my dark, spooky basement right now. Since the power went out in the storm and that psycho killer is on the loose, we'll need provisions. There's currently a rat infestation down there, and the ghost of the house's former owner, but if I leave you behind, you'll be alone with whoever just scraped their fingernails down the outer edge of the rain-drenched window. Can you take it? :scared-eek:
