With the reunion of our favourite group of Friends officially confirmed, it got us thinking about the many funny moments from the sitcom. One in particular was when the character of Joey puts books in his freezer when they frighten him.
We thought it only fitting to make a list of some of the best horror novels that you will definitely want to put in your freezer.
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
When four people arrive at a notoriously unfriendly property called Hill House, they assume their stay will be a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena but Hill House is not to be underestimated. It is gathering its powers and soon... it will choose one of them to make it is own. Shirley Jackson's work was also adapted into a TV series if you're up for an extra fright.
The Shining by Stephen King
Jack Torrance's new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he has plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and work on his writing. As the harsh winter sets in however, the idyllic locations feels ever more remote... and more sinister.
IT by Stephen King
To the children, Derry Main was their whole world. To the adults who knew better, it was just their hometown. Familiar, well ordered and for the most part, a good place to live. However, it is the children who see and feel what makes the small town of Derry Main so horribly different. They see what lurks in the storm drains and the sewers, taking on the shape of their every nightmare and deepest fears.
Anything Stephen King wrote
Let's be honest, we could go on for a while.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Scientist Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with building a living being out of old body parts and bringing it to life. When he is miraculously successful Victor is horrified at his creation and the monster escapes. This is one of the most famous works of horror fiction and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.
Dracula by Bram Stoker
When Dracula, the mysterious being from the mountains of Transylvania, travels to England, strange things begin to happen. People change. People become ill. Professor Van Helsing knows what is happening, and what Dracula is, but what can he do to stop him?
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
When junior solicitor Arthur Kipps is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, he is unaware of the tragic secrets that lie at her house. That is until he glimpses a young woman, dressed all in black, letting a creeping sense of unease take a hold of him. A feeling that is deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk to a woman in black.
Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin
Rosemary and her husband settle into a New York City apartment, unaware that the elderly neighbours and their strange group of friends have taken a disturbing interest in her and her unborn baby. By the time Rosemary discovers the horrifying truth, it may be far too late.
