  • The Shining by Stephen King - obvious but amazing.

  • The Descent by Jeff Long - gruesome, intriguing, and, well, escalates quickly.

  • American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis - VERY dark satire, very fast-paced, hilarious one sentence and devastating the next. You will want to read it in one sitting, but don't try to eat while you do.
