There are no glittery vampires here. Even if you've already heard it, it stands up to multiple listenings. Plus, you can remember the good old days when Stephen King was really, really scary instead of mostly weird.
This one is actually set on Halloween, for that extra festive feeling! A boy in small town England is the only witness to the accidental opening of the gates of Hell, and must try to convince others that there are demons among us. The Gates is light and fun, with no explicit violence or bad language, and would even be suitable for the family.
For non-fiction lovers, the essays about Ebola are the worst kind of horror imaginable because they're true. Panic in Level 4 is not for the squeamish--there's a lot of blood, and the outcome is usually not good. But the essays are fast-paced and fascinating, ranging from Ebola and self-cannibalism to the lengths people go to calculating Pi.
If you loved A Dirty Job, why not go back to Moore's first book? Moore's trademark dark humour shines through in this story about a man desperate to get rid of the people-eating demon he's saddled with. The demon's ancient enemy, the king of the djinn, adds an extra flavour of hilarity with his many insults.
