I know I've just picked all the heavy weight, genre defining works but they are my favourites, probably because they're the best. Anyway, it's a Top 100 list we're compiling, not a 'lets impress everyone with my knowledge of lesser known works' list.

Almost forgot... The Keep by F. Paul Wilson

If we don't expand the list beyond the top 10 most popular books of horror, how are we ever to compile a top 100? As the Prez said in the first post, this is not the time to criticize people's choices, now is the time to brainstorm.

My edition doesn't have The LOved Dead in it which is one of the weirdest Lovecraft Stories (collaborations) :(

I've read very few horror books so far:o...but still I'll post a list here later though most of them already got mentioned.

Neverending - do you have any info on whether Lovecraft really worked on 'The Loved Dead' or it was all just C. M. Eddy?

Both of the Lovecraft biographies I have are in storage, and that story doesn't ring a bell...
