A Horror story

Happy Halloween! A few years ago, we celebrated Frankenstein's 200th birthday by dedicating our summer reader poll to horror stories. We got more than 7,000 nominations and winnowed them down to a list of 100 spine-tingling titles. (Of course, lots has been published since then. After you get through these 100 you can check out this list of 13 new chilling and thrilling tales.) Enjoy!

Who doesn't love a good scary story, something to send a chill across your skin in the middle of summer's heat — or really, any other time? And this year, we're celebrating the 200th birthday of one of the most famous scary stories of all time: Frankenstein.

H. P. Lovecraft And The Shadow Over Horror

A few months ago, we asked you to nominate your favorite horror novels and stories, and then we assembled an expert panel of judges to take your 7,000 nominations and turn them into a final, curated list of 100 spine-tingling favorites for all kinds of readers. Want to scar your children for life? We can help. Want to dig into the dark, slimy roots of horror? We've got you covered.

As with our other reader polls, this isn't meant to be a ranked or comprehensive list — there are a few horror books you won't see on it, despite their popularity — some didn't stand the test of time, some just didn't catch our readers' interest, and in some cases our judges would prefer you see the movie instead. (So no Jaws, sorry.) And there are a few titles that aren't strictly horror, but at least have a toe in the dark water, or are commenting about horrific things, so our judges felt they deserved a place on the list

The NPR Reader Poll is celebrating the 200th anniversary of Frankenstein by conducting a Summer Horror Poll to determine the most popular horror novels and stories. The poll is based on 7,000 nominations made by readers, which were then curated into a final list of 100 favorite horror stories by an expert panel of judges. The list is not ranked or comprehensive, and some popular titles may not be included due to factors such as aging, lack of reader interest, or preference for the movie adaptation. The list also includes some titles that are not strictly horror but have elements of horror or comment on horrific events.

In conclusion, the NPR Reader Poll Summer Horror Poll is an event to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the famous horror story, Frankenstein, by determining the most popular horror novels and stories among readers. The poll was based on 7,000 nominations made by readers, which were then curated into a final list of 100 favorites by an expert panel of judges. The list is not ranked or comprehensive and includes some titles that are not strictly horror but have elements of horror or comment on horrific events.
