Well, if you like vampires, this is one choice ... There is Anne Rice who has sold millions of her novels. Some links for her biography are: randomhouse.com/features/annerice/author... Her books: Rice continued her vampire saga in The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief and Memnoch the Devil. These novels, collectively known as "The Vampire Chronicles," have great mainstream and cult followings and are widely assigned in high school and collegiate English and philosophy classes.

Her latest novel, Vittorio The Vampire, follows Pandora and The Vampire Armand, continuing Rice’s new series of vampire tales. ---------------------------------- It was interesting that her mother named her "Howard": Here is what Wikipedia has to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Rice About her unus "My birth name is Howard Allen because apparently my mother thought it was a good idea to name me Howard. My father’s name was Howard, she wanted to name me after Howard, and she thought it was a very interesting thing to do.

She was a bit of a Bohemian, a bit of mad woman, a bit of a genius, and a great deal of a great teacher. And she had the idea that naming a woman Howard was going to give that woman an unusual advantage in the world. " Rice became "Anne" on her first day of school, when a nun asked her what her name was.

She blurted out "Anne" immediately, and her mother, who was with her, let it go without correcting her, knowing how self-conscious her daughter was of her real name. --------------------------------------------- goldie080's Recommendations Memnoch the Devil (Vampire Chronicles, No 5) Amazon List Price: $7.99 Used from: $0.01 Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5 (based on 465 reviews) The Vampire Armand (The Vampire Chronicles) Book 6 Amazon List Price: $7.99 Used from: $0.01 Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5 (based on 439 reviews) a few of her novels: .

Clive Barker The most famous of his story is the one most people knows from the movies: Hellraisers. Believe me the books are much better. The characters very well drawn.

If you like your monsters to be pure evil that you love to hate, you will be disappointed. Even the worse of Barker's villains shows great pathos.

Try the Pendergast novels by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, or something by Dan Simmons. Relic is the first of Preston and Child's Pendergast novels. An FBI agent (Pedergast-- he also happens to have a brother who is an evil mastermind) is introduced in this novel about a series of strange killings taking place at the Musuem of Natural and the killer isn't human.

Dan Simmons also enjoys popularity with readers of King and Koontz. The Terror is quite a large novel about a failed artic expedition, and because its delightfully chilly it might be nice to read in warmer months.

James Patterson, Mary and Sidney Sheldon will provide many hours of reading from dozens of books Mary ggins Clark and Sidney Sheldon write books that tend to cross genres, but both write suspenseful thrillers and horror. Both do outstanding jobs of developing characters with depth and history, but mileage will vary among books from Sheldon. Of the two, Clark’s novels will tend to contain more horror and focus on mental/emotional trauma of women and their efforts to surmount it, often with emotionally fulfilling conclusions for the reader.

Sheldon’s books vary much more in their themes and quality of character development, but he is perpetually a bestselling author. Patterson is a bestselling author many times over and consistently writes compelling, engrossing thrillers. Although not everyone is a fan, his Alex Cross novels are a series of horrific crimes connected by the investigative presence of Alex Cross, a Washington, DC, detective portrayed in the movie versions of the books by Morgan Freeman..

Did an inquiry for similar authors as well. Try some John Saul: not as philosophical as King; not as happy ending as Koontz, but similar in a midway sort of angle - thrilling, sometimes supernatural, intense. Surprised his name hasn't come up in searches I've done, perhaps he stopped writing.

Comes The Blind Fury & The Right Hand Of Evil are worth checking out! .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
