Reddit reviews Watchers

Well . . . if you're looking at a book simply as a collection of text, I too have never feared a line of text. What books allow, is a slow building of fear that require quite a bit of character development. I don't read horror novels waiting to be frightened, and truthfully read very little horror. The fear just happens. To be honest, it's a different type of fear - more of an uneasy feeling really. Certainly, a book can't have, what my son calls, "The scary jump out scenes". But if we exchange the term fear with edgy, here are a list of my favorite books with an "Edge":

[The Passage] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Passage-Novel-Book-Trilogy/dp/0345528174)
[The Terror] (http://www.amazon.com/Terror-Novel-Dan-Simmons/dp/0316008079/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404481514&sr=1-1&keywords=terror)
The Stand
Carrion Comfort
Desperation
I am Legend
The Sparrow
Night
Frankenstein
All Quite on the Western Front
Hunger
Blood Meridian
Watchers
The Minus Man

In no particular order - Not the usual suggestions either. Hope it helps, and happy reading!

Watchers by Dean Koontz absolutely terrified me. The inability of any characters to explain what the antagonist looks like lends more credibility to its inherent horror than a proper description ever could.

I am currently reading Watchers by Dean Koontz. I like golden retrievers and it has a smart golden retriever named Einstein.

Dean Koontz - Watchers (scifi / suspense involving genetically modified animals)

Jim Butcher - Storm Front (a detective who's a wizard)

Kevin Hearn - Hounded (urban fantasy, a millennium old druid in modern day)

Richard Kadrey - Sandman Slim (dark, violent underworld fantasy)

White Shark for #1?

Edit: Watchers by Dean Koontz for #3.

Hmm this is a good one from Stephen king although its labeled Horror Duma key

Watchers by dean koontz is really good. Maybe some more I just cant think of. Look up some books from those authors. I think you'd enjoy them.
