Stephen King, em 1981 lançou um ensaio sobre o horror na cultura americana em veículos de mídia como o rádio, o cinema e a literatura. No final dessa obra, postou uma lista de 100 títulos que considera principais para entender e apreciar o estilo, e aqui vai ela (a lista está me inglês por que peguei a lista em inglês e não tive saco de traduzir/ não sei se alguns títulos vieram para o brasil)

robert aickman = cold hand in min ; painted devils
marcel ayme = the walker through walls
baryl bainbridge = harriet said
j. g. ballard = concrete island ; high rise

tive a chance de ler algumas obras e posso dizer que não concordo com todos os títulos (particularmente não gostei do ´´the body snatchers``), mas a dança macabra abriu meus olhos para vários autores ótimos, como ray bradbury.
A lista já está um pouco defasada, não cita Clive Barker, por exemplo... mas e aí quantos desses livros você já leu?
