I love Dean Koontz. Totally trippy but shorter than Stephen King's. My fav was soul(sole) survivor cant remember the exact spelling.
Any of the Anne Rice vampire books are awesome too. The Vampire Lestat is my fav of
that series.
Have u read "Girl with the dragon tatoo"?.
I will have to look when I get home at my suggestions.
U cant go wrong with Dean Koontz or Anne Rice. Stephen King is good but he takes 5 pages to describe the color of a jacket.
Just my opinion of course. Not trying to start a riot

Thanks for the good ideas. I've been reading Archer Mayor's Joe Gunther series, and while there's 24 of them and I'm about to finish 4 I don't want to pick up 5 just yet. In the beginning I really enjoyed them because they took place in the late 80s and no one had cell phones or computers, yet. It was neat to re-live that. Now I feel like screaming at him to JUST GOOGLE IT!!!!!

Although he's a Mainer, and it would be appropriate to read, Stephen King scares the crap out of me. I'm okay with gory and I'm ok with death, but I am not okay with things that are stalking or waiting to pop out at you, and he's the king of that. I already have insomnia and BF is working the late shift, so I'm going to have to say no to that.

Wow bamadude!  Pretty radical statement! And may I add, I have no use for anyone that would make such rude comments.!

Please come back and hang out. That was cool of u to "not take junk off of anybody". I respect that...But I wasnt trying to be rude to anybody...Im on mobile version on my phone. I get ads on every byc page. Every page gets a different ad. Its not my doings but sometimes it's amusing. I would never offend SCG....she has my address.

I can't bring myself to read a book on a screen, I want the real thing.
I always tell people who like Stephen King and Dean Koontz type books they should read one of my all time favorites, Louis L'Amour's The Haunted Mesa. His only science fiction book, and one of the last books he wrote before he died. It's about the Anasazi Indians, third worlds, portals, crazy spooky weird and excellent book. If it didn't have L'Amour's name on the cover you would never guess he wrote it, and I love his westerns, read every single book he wrote, but I think this was his best.

For spooky books I like Preston-Child. No where near the scare factor (stalking, jumping) of Stephen King, but entertaining and macabre at the same time. I'll see if Kindle has that for download.

I like the feel of actual books, but for my insomnia, the e-books work great. I can read at night while I'm up and stay in the bed and not wake BF like I would turning on a light for a real book.

Right now I'm reading a biography Finding Everett Ruess. Not my usual thing but I love history. Kinda like Into The Wild's Chris McCandless. He was a young man who up and disappeared in 1934 at age 20, he was writer and artist and wilderness explorer. His last known camp was in Davis Gulch in a canyon in Utah's desert. He has become somewhat of a legend.
