    Writing another novel; need to put protag in the right (aka dark and devious) frame of mind so I'm having him read a novel he secreted home when in junior high, back in the late 80's.
      How about you guys (and gals) nominatimg what you feel is your "favorite" for the darkest, meaneast, easily available horror/noir/thriller novel on the shelves back then (yes, you can nominate a Stephen King or Dean Koontz title), preferably where the protag torments his prey (who lives alone) several ways before the last time which leaves the prey unable to function in current or any job?

    Thanks!
