Stephen King classics, like Pet Semetary, It, The Stand, The Shining, 'Salem's Lot... those are some of the best by him. In case you've read 'em all (I see you're a horror fan), here are some others:

Horror: Dracula by Bram Stoker, Rulers of Darkness by Stephen Spirull

Tripped out: The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

As far as my personal favorites go... well... that's a different list

 

[cajunmama]

I like horror/ trip-out, too. Some of my other favs from that genre are
Haunted- Chuck Palahniuk (I thought this was f-r-e-a-k-y)
The Relic- Preston & Child
anything by Stephen King, but not everything by King is horror, mind you
any one of the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton
Sunglasses After Dark- Nancy A. Collins

 

[KristoCat]

I second the Laurell K. Hamilton recommendation. That's good stuff
