The Question:
What is your favorite horror novel and why?
My Answer:
Well as I've said the past few weeks I don't read horror books. The closest thing to a horror book I've read and enjoyed was Hangman's Curse by Frank Peretti. It's been awhile since I've read it though so I'm having a hard time coming up with the why but oh well!

"Schnell, schnell!" A German soldier jammed the cold, hard barrel of his rifle into Gerrit Laninga's back. Gerrit's heart throbbed against his ribs like waves in a squall against a dike. Any minute now, it would burst through his chest, splitting open as it flopped to the ground. He scrambled to keep pace with the other nine Dutch Resistance workers in front of him. If he fell behind, the Germans would shoot him on the spot. Not that it mattered one way or the other.
Gerrit was on his way to his execution.

My Thoughts
Great beginning! Nothing like someone walking to their death to grabbed your attention! This immediately sucked me in!
