My favorite three would be R.L. Stine (my fav in teenage), Dean Koontz and Stephen king. I recently did a review of books by stephen king and Dean Koontz on my blog:

John Saul is wonderful, I have yet to read a book by him I didn't like. I grew up reading R.L. Stine as well. I love the Fear Street books I think I still have about 20 of them in storage. Dean Koontz is always hit or miss for me, I either love it or hate it with his books. Stephen King Is the author that my friends give me crap about because nine times out of ten I get board half way through and give up. I do love Needful Things and The Stand, but I tend to lose interest quickly with his writing style.

Good to meet another RL Stine fan. You've got 20 in storage, I would at least have 40 with me, all of them Goosebumps. Even if today I come across a GB I haven't read, I pick it up without hesitation just to reminisce about my early teen years... ![Drunk :drunk:](https://www.booktalk.org/images/smilies/ext_drunk.gif)

I never really got into Koontz or Saul . . . big fan of King, though. Also into his son, Joe Hill, and David Wellington . . . anyone read those two?

I never tried the Fear Street series though I know they're very popular. I would love to try them but for some reason we don't find much of them here. How are the FS series like btw?
@KD76: Which King books do you think were particularly good/scary?

Bikerdude: I like his short story collections the best, especially his newest one, Full Dark, No Stars . . . novel-wise, I like the extended edition of The Stand and It, and I always thought having a car that could regenerate, ala Christine, would be awesome. No need for insurance, ha-ha.
