For kids:

  • R.L. Stine

For adults:

  • Edgar Allen Poe
  • H. P. Lovecraft
  • H. G. Wells
  • Bram Stoker (who wrote many Horror novels beside Dracula, none of which were successful)
  • Mary Shelley (although I do not believe she wrote any horror besides Frankenstein)
  • Stephen King
  • Clive Barker
  • Ramsey Campbell
  • Poppy Z. Brite
  • Jack Ketchum
  • Thomas Harris
  • Chuck Palahniuk (who does not write horror exclusively)
  • Koji Suzuki (author of The Ring manga...manga is Japanese graphic novels)
  • X.L./Sigma (which are the pen names of the horror author Julian Osgood Field)
  • Dean Koontz is also very popular, but be warned...he's a total hack. Some people enjoy his books, but I would read a few chapters at the bookstore before buying any of them, to see if you agree that they're total garbage or not.
  • Ditto for Anne Rice...although I really enjoyed Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat.

How do you write a good scary or horror story?

Well, Make sure you have a good setting, if you don't start off mysterious than it won't end very well. Some horror stories start out calm and get mysterious. I am reading a horror story by R.L. Stine, When the author writes a story, he does a lot of rewriting and editing. Make sure you do that when you write a story.
