I read at least one scary book per October. I think the best one I tried this time around was Thomas Harris’s Red Dragon. It fell apart a bit at the end, but I was on codeine at the time so my opinion is suspect.
I’ll let someone else defend horror today, but if you’re just now getting the jones for a scare, some successful Mormons in the field to check out include Michaelbrent Collings, Dan Wells, and Ben Hopkin.
Zarahemla has put out a few frighteners: Dispirirted, Brother Brigham (out of print), Angel Falling Softly (out of print).
And hey!
Most importantly, as always, Monsters & Mormons. You can’t do better than that on Halloween.

Add writers to the list! I’ll go first! David J. West! Wilum H. Pugmire!

Jaleta Clegg!
(and the bell just rang—gotta go)
I’d also recommend Michael R. Collings’ poetry collection: IN THE VOID: POEMS OF SCIENCE FICTION, MYTH, & HORROR. He has some horror novels out, too,, like THE SLAB and SHADOW VALLEY.

Excellent suggestion. I have that collection and am quite fond of it.
