We Need To Talk About Kevin (Serpent's Tail Classics)
6.  We Need To Talk About Kevin (Serpent's Tail Classics) by Lionel Shriver
The list author says:
  "This was very good, I marked it down because I felt like the first 100 pages or so were unnecessary and that at times the writing was dull. But worth it in the end! 7/10"

The Birds And Other Stories (Virago Modern Classics)
7.  The Birds And Other Stories (Virago Modern Classics) by Daphne Du Maurier
The list author says:
  "A decent collection of short stories (except maybe for 'Monte Verita'), but 'The Birds' was by far the best. I would rate the collection as 6/10, but 'The Birds' itself as 8/10."

Salem's Lot
8.  Salem's Lot by Stephen King

Wuthering Heights (Oxford World's Classics)
9.  Wuthering Heights (Oxford World's Classics) by Emily Brontë
The list author says:
  "Not as good as her sister's 'Jane Eyre' (which is one of my favourite books of all time!), but a passionate and haunting tale that everyone should read once. 8/10"

American Psycho (Film Tie-In)
10.  American Psycho (Film Tie-In) by Bret Easton Ellis
The list author says:
  "I read this mostly because the film is one of my favourites, but be warned - the book is a hundred times more gruesome and sickening than the film, so it is certainly not for everyone! 8/10"

The Midwich Cuckoos
11.  The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham

Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Wordsworth Classics)
17.  Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Wordsworth Classics) by Robert Louis Stevenson

19.  We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Penguin Modern Classics) by Shirley Jackson
The list author says:

Full Dark, No Stars
20.  Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "Stephen King is back on form! This collection was very good, especially the first one (1922), which has a beautiful Lovecraftian feel to it. The last 2 novellas were weaker than the others though 8/10"

Ghost Story
22.  Ghost Story by Peter Straub
The list author says:
  "I read this as it was highly praised by many horror fans, but I wasn't impressed; it verged on boring and was very slow, also I didn't find it scary. 5/10"
