As Halloween nears, here's a selection of top scares from 2016.

The competition was fierce, and the line between horror and dark fantasy may be blurred. So did your picks make the list?

Not only did genre fans see new books from established heavy hitters, they welcomed a grandmaster’s novel back into print after 52 years in 2016. Here's Barnes and Noble's selection:

I loved how wacky this book was, balancing a mix of horror and surreal fantasy in a way that kept me moving through the pages. Unlike anything I've ever read, with a quad of narrators, deep philosophy, and the stitching together of Science Fiction and Fantasy in a delightfully horrific way.

Hands down LOVED it.
