Is this worth the hype? I’m looking for good entertaining horror but a bit tired of Stephen King.

Start with The Castle of Otranto.

There's more literary value behind a Warhammer novel than in the whole corpus of that Grinch faced faggot.

It's great but if you read King it might be too good for you.

if you want gothic horror you can do much better with a male author like Poe or Lovecraft

it's better than anything Stephen King ever wrote, not that that's saying much

Overall it is ok. It has some excellent moments and some that come off strangely amateurish. We Have Always Lived in the Castle is much more consistent, and i consider that to be Jacksons masterpiece.

It's definitely good. Some other great horror for beginners:

>Richard Matheson - I Am Legend
>Robert Bloch - Psycho
>Ira Levin - Rosemary's Baby
>William Peter Blatty - The Exorcist
>Anne Rivers Siddons - The House Next Door
>Clive Barker - Books of Blood
>Thomas Harris - Red Dragon // The Silence of the Lambs
>John Ajdivde Lindqvist - Let the Right One In
