Extreme Horror Must-Read: 5 books to discover now (especially if splatter is new to you!)

These are my top 5 so very open to interpretation. It goes without saying, I thought, that these are also all very well-written books.

I have the wrong SK book in hand. Survivor Type is in Skeleton Crew. Sorry for that mix-up ~ Thank you to John at Books of Blood for catching that!

There are rough books to read that lose the craft along the way just like there are extreme horror films that have low production value or lose the plot. These are books that deal with extremities and disturbing situations that are not recommended for all readers even though they are expertly written and tell gut-wrenching stories.

I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
