    Choosing Novels for a Horror Course

    Hi Everyone!

    Please can you recommend six horror novels that I can teach to undergraduate students?

    As it is a course within popular culture, I have chosen to focus on vampires and zombies. It is an introduction to horror.

    What do you think of the following selections? Please feel free to make suggestions / changes.

    1) Richard Matheson - I am Legend
    2) Stephen King - 'Salem's Lot
    3) Anne Rice - Interview with the Vampire
    4) Max Brooks - World War Z
    5) Dean Koontz and Kevin J Anderson - Frankenstein: Prodigal Son
    6) Robert Kirkman - The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor

    I would really appreciate your guidance.

    Thanks.

    Stephen King's Thinner is strangely interesting!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
