PS.Nothing by Stephen king, nor Shelley or Stoker !!
"
What’s your particular flavour of horror?
The weird stuff? The bloody? The psychological? A little bit cosy? |

I've read loads, just after authors so I can have a quick review of their works. |

I’d also rate Ramsey Campbell, especially his short stories.
Laird Barron is a favourite, as is Robert Aickman. Catriona Ward writes a great scare. |

"The Rats series by James Herbert... I have read it twice already, with a very long time in between and am looking to read it again once I have finished the books I am reading  "
I've read lots of Herbert's books, anyone wanting to try horror or the supernatural should start with his. |

I actually like James Herbert alongside the horror some of his earlier books had lurid sex scenes as well 
Dennis Wheatley, a few of his like The Devil Rides Out and The Satanist. Hammer Films often took his books and a made a decent film or two.

"I read a book about an entity called Enoch when I was a teenager, that I felt was quite scary.
I've tried to find it since but no amount of Googling has helped me find it."
Doesn't ring a bell, but it's the sort of book that would appeal to me. |

Is Enoch invisible and does he ride on the head of the protagonist and bite and claw his scalp to make him commit murders ? |

Yes, I think that's it. At the end I think it/he travels to someone else. |

The darkness of strangers looks good. Looks like a cheap read as well, so win win. Thanks"

"Only read Bram Stokers Dracula... Blummin classic
Love Bram … check out Dacre Stoker’s (great grand nephew of Bram) Dracul…. It’s a precursor to Brams Dracula - very good and very atmospheric
