Hello I’m fairly new to reading and am wanting to see what books people recommend and why, also i really enjoy horror/mystery!

    For horror, Stephen King is one of the best. Start with something shorter of his, a short novel, or one of his collections of short stories. His longer novels are great too, but his short stories are where he really shines.

    A couple of my favourites are:

    1408

    The man in the black suit

    Pet Cemetery

    The raft.

    The cycle of the werewolf.

    Happy reading!

    Edit: for mystery I enjoyed Six Wakes by Muir Lafferty, a SciFi murder mystery on a spaceship. I also enjoyed Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot stories, they’re fairly simple and easy to read.
