Can you list some of the '2018 best horror novels'?

John Langan's 'The Fisherman' is also excellent. It weaves together elements of fishing, personal tragedy, and cosmic horror. The main characters' journey to a haunted river is filled with disturbing revelations and a growing sense of the horror that lurks in the universe.

Sure. 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James is a great horror novel. Then there's 'Carmilla' which is an early vampire story. Also, 'House of Leaves' is a very unique and disturbing horror novel.

Sure. 'The Institute' by Stephen King. It's a great horror novel with a plot that involves a mysterious place and strange happenings to the kids there.

Sure. 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson. It has a very eerie and unsettling feeling throughout. The way the house seems to have a life of its own and the psychological horror elements are really well - done, making it a great autumn read.

Well, 'The Midwich Cuckoos' by John Wyndham is also suitable. It's about a small English village where all the women become mysteriously pregnant at the same time. The story has elements of horror as it explores the unknown origin of these pregnancies and the strange children that are born. It's a great introduction to the world of horror sci - fi.

Sure. 'The Shining' by Stephen King is a great one from the list. It's set in an isolated hotel with a haunted past. The slow build - up of horror and the psychological aspect of the main character's descent into madness is really terrifying.

One of the best European horror novels is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. It's a classic that introduced the world to the iconic vampire, Count Dracula. The novel is set in Transylvania and England, and it creates a chilling atmosphere with its Gothic elements. Stoker's use of letters, diary entries, and newspaper clippings as narrative devices makes it a unique and immersive read.

Well, from the list of horror novels, I'd pick 'Pet Sematary' also by Stephen King. It's about a place where the dead come back, but not in a good way. Then there's 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty. The idea of demonic possession is really spooky. And don't forget 'The Call of Cthulhu' by H.P. Lovecraft, with its Lovecraftian horror of the unknown and the unknowable.

Sure. 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman is a great one. It has a really creepy other - world setting that a young girl discovers through a small door in her new house.

Sure. 'The Girl with All the Gifts' by M.R. Carey is a great one. It offers a unique take on the zombie apocalypse genre, with a complex and sympathetic main character.
