1. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson 2. The Shining by Stephen King 3. Ghost Story by Peter Straub 4. Dark Companions by Ramsey Campbell 5. Salem's Lot by Stephen King 6. The Other by Thomas Tryon 7. The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Also try the collected works of Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Edgar Allan Poe, and H.P. Lovecraft.
