I have always had a passion for books and for the past four years I was honored with an appointment to the American Library Association CODES Notable Books Council. Now I am starting on a new adventure, the American Library Association CODES The Reading List book award for genre fiction.

Help with Horror!
I am trying to pull together a list of good examples of novels for all of the horror sub-genres. Below is the list of sub-genres I have pulled from different websites. Anyone have suggestions for additional sub-genres or for the "perfect" novel for one or more of the categories?

I read "The Haunting of Hill House" last October. Creeped me out! Also a bit head bending since it is a psychological horror novel.
... which I see is already on your list!
I had it on Psychological horror at first and then moved it to Haunted House Horror. So many genres!
For Creepy Kids: Children of the Corn short story by Stephen King. Creepy!
For chick-lit horror, I would suggest the MaryJanice Davidson "Undead" books.
