The following lists are all movies, novels, short story collections, and other forms of art that I have enjoyed and recommend for those interested in the sub-genres named. You may notice I’ve left off some of the more obvious titles. That’s not out of any lack of love for, say, The Shining, but rather to promote works that are a little less well-known. I’ve done my best not to repeat titles on different lists, and I’ve also chosen not to repeat authors or directors in the same category. Again, not out of a lack of respect for a given creator, but in order not to write a list of body-horror movies all directed by David Cronenberg, for instance.
These are not meant to be definitive lists of the “best” of any of these sub-categories, at least not in any sort of an objective sense. I’m not interested in doing that sort of canon-formation. Rather, these are works that caught my imagination in one way or another, pieces I think should get more attention. Anyways, I’ll be adding to these lists for awhile. I hope you enjoy reading them, come away with some interesting suggestions, and share them. And, of course, please feel free to comment with your own suggestions!
