Megan Forrester is having a bad year. At the beginning of this story a horrible tragedy strikes her family. Then six months later, just as she's beginning to recover, she takes a camping trip with a church group. And there is something terrible in the woods...

This was basically a horror movie to read. It was exciting!

Soon

 Fiction by Lois Murphy

Nebulah is a little town in rural Australia where a haunted, deadly mist comes every night to stalk the residents. Nearly all have fled the area since the mist first appeared at the last winter solstice; at the beginning of this story only eleven people remain, which quickly dwindles to six. 

What is the mist? What will happen when the next winter solstice comes? And WHY don't these people want to leave this awful place? Who knows?

I hated this book. It had a terrible ending and never explained the mist at all. 

Joyland

 Fiction by Stephen King.

Devin Jones spent the summer of 1973 working at an amusement park called Joyland on the Carolina coast. That year he was fated to have his heart broken and his life threatened, to save a kid's life and fail to see a ghost.

This was a good story, and it's a short one by Stephen King standards.

Later

 Fiction by Stephen King

This book follows a boy called Jamie who lives with his mother In New York and has special abilities--he sees dead people. Some reviewers called this a "recycled" idea, but this story really brings a unique take. As in all Stephen King's books, the point is the characters and how they handle whatever weirdness gets thrown at them.

This is a short story by Mr. King's standards, about 250 pages. I really liked it.

Darkfall

Fiction by Dean Koontz.

Here is a vintage Dean Koontz novel, which means it's a full-on horror story, but only just gory enough to still be readable without crossing the line into oh-yuck!-land.

It's an exciting read.

The Winter People

Fiction by Jennifer McMahon.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com

This novel tells a story that goes between two different times in the same (apparently haunted) house. Central to the narrative is a book entitled Visitors from the Other Side: The Secret Diary of Sara Harrison Shea. And that secret diary tells about Mrs. Shea's mysterious disappearance.

The Winter People was a good story and a page-turner as well. But it was also kind of horrifying.
