I found a GREAT website for book readers;
www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com
Every September 1st through October 31st Carl challenges readers to read from the following genres: Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Dark Fantasy, Gothic, Horror or Supernatural. We are to post our pool of possible reads and then read the required books for the challenge we've selected. I've chosen to participate in Peril the Second in which "I read two books of any length, from any sub genre of scary stories that I choose."
UPDATE: I have finished my pledge of two books and it's not even October yet! I guess I'll have to work on Peril the First, in which I will attempt (he-he) to read two more books by October's end!
Based on some website suggestions, here are my candidates: The Graveyard Book by
Neil Gaiman
The Harrowing by
Alexandra Sokoloff
The Rest Falls Away by
Colleen Gleason
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

I wonder if my text book for my Intro to Mortuary Science class counts?
Anyway, if you have a great book recommendation for me to read, post a comment!

I love anything by Neil Gaiman! He's written some great children's books, too, like The Wolves in the Walls. Looks like a great reading time ahead for you. Are you going to do book reviews? =)
I can not wait to see what other books you wil be adding to your list. I am always looking for something new to read. Kathy from the Blig Blog http://akinaustralia.wordpress.com
Fantastic pool of books. I am so glad that you are joining in! I'm curious if you already have a copy of The Harrowing. I got several autographed copies of the book for giveaways for this challenge and I'd love to send you one if you are interested. Let me know (shoot me an email).
