“L. Ron
Hubbard’s Fear is one of the few books in the chiller genre which
actually merits employment of the overworked adjective ‘classic,’ as in
‘This is a classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror.’ If
you’re not averse to a case of the cold chills—a rather bad one—and
you’ve never read Fear, I urge you to do so. . . . This is one of the
really, really good ones.” —Stephen King
High praise from one of modern time's most recognizable names in thrillers! I recently had a chance to listen to the audiobooks for several of Hubbard's books. If you like thrillers, here are some of the ones available:
Dead
Men Kill: Detective Terry Lane is a standout cop—as tough as Eliot Ness
of The Untouchables—who thought he’d seen it all . . . until now. But
he’s never seen a murder spree like this. The evidence is clear: the
killers have not emerged from the underside of the city, but from six
feet under it—the walking dead. And if Lane doesn’t think outside the
box . . . he could end up inside one, buried alive.
Carnival
of Death: In the movie The Big Sleep, Bogart as Philip Marlowe follows a
trail of decadence and murder on the dark side of L.A. But even that
pales in comparison to the freak show found by undercover U.S. narcotics
agent Bob Clark . . . in The Carnival of Death. Clark’s investigation
begins with cocaine and leads to two headless corpses. Who is behind the
slaughter? There are plenty of distractions—bright lights and beautiful
girls—but Clark better find the murderers fast. Because the next head
that rolls could be his own.
Tomb of
the Ten Thousand Dead: Before Indiana Jones was even a gleam in
Spielberg’s eye, one intrepid pilot flew out of the sky . . . into a bit
of hell on earth. Captain Gordon is flying a team of anthropologists to
the mountains of the Middle East in search of ancient history. But the
discovery of a long-buried map leads to high adventure, untold treasure,
and cold-blooded murder. . . .
FEAR:
Professor James Lowry didn’t believe in spirits, or witches, or demons.
Not until a gentle spring evening when his hat disappeared, and suddenly
he couldn’t remember the last four hours of his life. Now, the quiet
university town of Atworthy is changing—slightly at first, then faster
and more frighteningly each time he tries to remember. Lowry is pursued
by a dark, secret evil that is turning his whole world against him while
it whispers a warning from the shadows: If you find your hat you’ll
find your four hours. If you find your four hours then you will die. . .

I don't normally like horror novels, or listen to audiobooks. But I did enjoy these - especially for this time of year. They weren't gruesome horror novels, they were great thrillers. And it was nice to listen to books for a change - I could listen while doing dishes or laundry, and kill two birds with one stone. If you like thriller novels, be sure to check these out! You can find these titles and more at most bookstores, and more information at Golden Age Stories.
