I've set up a new challenge, 2015 Trick or Treat , which is super easy - just one book, but you have to be quick as the deadline is Halloween, so you'll need to get started!

I also thought that it would be fun if people were to recommend some of their (hopefully lesser known) horror favorites.

I'll start with Kingsley Amis's The Green Man.  It's a fantastic novel - at turns scary, riotously funny, and deeply philosophical/theological.  The all too human protagonist is wonderfully drawn, and the writing is marvelous (this is Amis, after all).  It's entirely satisfying in every way.  Don't read any more about it - it might spoil it dreadfully.  Just get it, read it, and enjoy!
