At the risk of stating the obvious - a few threads down from this is the same topic - recommendations for short stories. I put my response there last time - I believe there are lots of other recommendations there as well.

cheers :)

You better be ready, You're going to die and I dont feel anything about it."
Then susan said "In a few minutes I killed her and she was dead"
After killing sharon susan noticed there was blood on her hand she tasted it. "wow what a trip" she told Virginia. "I thought to taste death, and yet give life."

If you want to go back aways--The October Country by Ray Bradbury seems pretty fine.

I already mentioned it, but not in this thread. The short story collection Toybox by Al Sarrantonio which just recently casme out in a mass market paperback really kicks. Some of the stories are Bradburyeske, some not. It's *really* good.

I'd have to say any Stephen King books and Ann Royce, but most of all i'd have to say The Exorcist is awesome.

I have to agree with Nightbreed %150.

Lovecraft Rocks

He is and always has been my favorite weird/horror writer. Get the Del-Ray collections. They usually have several shorts by lovecraft, as well as stories from frieinds and contemporaries of his, not to mention some modern authors who were inspired by him (their stories touch his mythos).

One of them has Jerusalem's lot by stephen King. I was told it was a piece of crap, but read it anyway, and thought it was a great story.
Here are some of the books:
heres one
heres another

I actually have both of these books and have read them into the ground

I personally find that some of edgar allan poe's work is quite scary to me, so i'd have to recomend like the tell-tale heart, the raven, the pit and the pendulum.....etc
