Question of the Week: What is your favorite horror read?

You didn't really think we were going to ask you about fluffy bunnies on the day before Halloween, did you?  Of course not.

I'm not really much into horror myself, though I did go through a Stephen King phase when I was a teen.  But lately, I've discovered an author who's books are so well written that I enjoy reading them despite being truly horrific!  I present to you Daniel Kraus, author of my favorite, Rotters.

Grave-robbing. What kind of monster would do such a thing? It's true that Leonardo da Vinci did it, Shakespeare wrote about it, and the resurrection men of nineteenth-century Scotland practically made it an art. But none of this matters to Joey Crouch, a sixteen-year-old straight-A student living in Chicago with his single mom. For the most part, Joey's life is about playing the trumpet and avoiding the daily humiliations of high school. Everything changes when Joey's mother dies in a tragic accident and he is sent to rural Iowa to live with the father he has never known, a strange, solitary man with unimaginable secrets. At first, Joey's father wants nothing to do with him, but once father and son come to terms with each other, Joey's life takes a turn both macabre and exhilarating.

Rotters is creepy.  Nothing paranormal at all.  Just straight up cringe-inducing horror.

So - tell us.  What's your favorite horror book?
