My top five would be:

Dracula by Bram Stoker
Firestarter by Stephen King
Cell by Stephen King
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker
Frankenstein by Mary Shelly

Honorable mention go to Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice, though I would not really call it horror, it is more drama, and to The Masquerade Of The Red Death Trilogy by Robert Weinberg but again this is more a fantasy adventure than horror.

Since the post came right after mine I suspect the book recommendation was aimed at me.

I will def. read some of the books you guys suggested!

My favorite books are IT by Stephen King and the Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, not really horror but kinda creepy and just a really good story!

Oops my typing error I didnt make that clear I meant you BOTH would since it is "fiction" about the occult. If people don't know the book its by the same author who wrote "The Devil Rides Out".
