I'm in serious need of a new fix actually. XD Mercedes Lackey, I've found, is a good enough read when I'm really bored and have nothing better to read (that, and I've always been a sucker for horses). Then again, I LOVE the cover art. *hearts it* XD Ah me, shameless at enjoy such nonsense.
If you like vampires (heaven knows if they count more towards the horror side of things, but they're fantastic enough for me), then I highly recommend The Historian by by Elizabeth Kostova, which is probably one of the more interesting takes on the myth, as well as Vlad "Dracula" the Impaler himself -- because its written as the story is researched in modern times in a historical context, tracing his life before his death. Or undeath, as the case may be. Not QUITE worth buying, but definately worth borrowing from the library.
Tamora Pierce recently wrote more to her Tortall series. I've only recently picked up an interest in her, having picked up a copy of the first book from The Protector of the Small quartet is where I started (a mistake, I think, as reading the Alana the Lioness books wasn't quite as appealing when I managed to get ahold of them, and Daine's story was DULL AS DITCHWATER). Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen have been rather enjoyable, from personal experience.
