“Invitation to Dance-
It’s a Dance. And sometimes they turn the lights off in this ballroom.
But we’ll dance anyway, you and I. Even in the Dark. Especially in the Dark.
May I have the pleasure?” 
― Stephen King

As voracious Horror readers, we all know that giddy feeling we get when we find a new author to follow. 
That author who pens the novels we crave, who stirs our emotions like a witch’s cauldron, snatching our very breath.

 It’s somewhat like a horrific first date. We have these expectations that must be met. 
And if we are not satisfied, there will not be a second date.

 And sometimes we have to wet our pants because we were too afraid of what might be 
hiding in the dark corners of our bedrooms.

 We’ve read the Horror novels listed here and found our new favorite authors. 
They will seduce you will their stories of fear. In fact, we dare you to dance with any of these authors?
