Ten top modern horror classics

At BookRiot Steph Auteri tagged ten modern horror classics keeping the genre alive. One title on the list:
A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay

Tremblay is another horror author whose works I automatically read. One of my faves from him is A Head Full of Ghosts, about a young woman who may or may not have faked a demonic possession and whose attempted exorcism was filmed for TV. Obviously, this one made me think fondly of William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist, which I both read and watched the film adaptation of at a disturbingly young age. With 14 titles to his name (Horror Movie is out in June), he shows no signs of slowing down.

A Head Full of Ghosts is among Heather Gudenkauf's five mysteries and thrillers with a reality TV twist, Lee Kelly's eight fictional dinner parties gone wrong, and Wendy Webb's eight top modern gothic mysteries.
