    I watch every horror film going but haven't read all that much, Lovecraft any good for you? If anyone has any recommendations for authors along the lines of King I'd be interested to hear them.

    Have you read Dracula? Frankenstien? Just starting to read one called The Vampyre John Polidori (1819) I have no idea how good it is. Try Salems lot by Stephen King

    I've read Bram Stoker's Dracula, very good, not sure on Frankenstein I don't think so. I watched the Salem's Lot remake the other day, wasn't great but no doubt the book is much better it's always the way.

    It's mainly audiobooks for me these days and I'd like to get stuck into another prolific author like King but I don't know who they might be. Read all of Lovecraft's stuff and there's some really good ones, I remember The Shadow over Innsmouth being the best. Can't go wrong with Poe either.
