One great first - person horror novel is 'The Shining' by Stephen King. The main character, Jack Torrance, tells the story from his perspective. His descent into madness as he is haunted by the ghosts in the Overlook Hotel is terrifying. Another is 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. The way the narrator tries to make sense of the ever - changing, impossible house creates a very spooky atmosphere.
Another good option is 'Carrie' by Stephen King. It's told from Carrie's perspective as she endures bullying and then discovers her telekinetic powers. The first - person view really lets you feel her emotions and the horror that unfolds. It's a well - known and engaging horror story.
There's no definite answer to who's the number one horror novelist in China because the creation of horror novels in China is very active and there are many excellent authors and works. However, based on the feedback and comments from the readers, the number one horror novel in China might still be Liu Cixin. His " The Three-Body Problem " series of novels received widespread praise, not only in China but also around the world. In addition, he also created many other excellent horror novels such as Ball Lightning and Wandering Earth.
Horror novels usually use first-person narration because it allows the reader to directly participate in the story and feel the characters and emotions in the story, which makes it easier for them to feel fear and anxiety.
The following are some possible reasons:
1. Enhancing realism: Horror novels need to make the readers feel that the scenes and characters in the story are real, and first-person narration can make the readers feel this more directly.
2. Increase the control of the narrative perspective: The first person narration allows the author to directly control the narrative perspective of the story and better express the emotions and psychology of the characters in the story.
3. emphasize the feelings of the characters in the story: the first person narration can let the readers feel the emotions and feelings of the characters in the story more directly, such as fear, anger, hope, etc. This can better describe the psychology of the characters and increase the depth and horror of the story.
It should be noted that first-person narration is not necessarily the common mode of horror novels. Other types of novels can also adopt first-person narration such as autobiographies and recollections. At the same time, the use of first-person narration also needed to be adjusted according to the type of story and plot to achieve the best effect.
I recommend the book "Open the Coffin". It tells the story of an unlucky child named Zhang Xiaotian. He was forced to go on the road of grave robbing because he had to pay off his debts. He obtained an incomplete jade Ruyi from an ancient tomb at a subway construction site. From then on, his fate began to become complicated. This novel uses a first-person narrative with an exciting and terrifying plot. Combined with the elements of grave robbing, I believe it will attract your attention. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~๐

One of the earliest known authors to write a horror story was Horace Walpole. His work 'The Castle of Otranto' is often considered the first gothic novel, which contains many elements of horror. It was published in 1764.
I checked into a motel on a desolate road. The room smelled musty. As I lay in bed, I heard scratching at the window. I got up to look, but saw nothing. When I lay back down, I felt something cold touch my foot. I jumped up and turned on the light, but there was no one there. The scratching continued, and I noticed the doorknob slowly turning. I grabbed a chair and barricaded myself in the corner, praying for morning to come.
I walked into the old, creaking house. The air was thick with a musty smell. Every step I took on the warped floorboards seemed to echo like a death knell. As I entered the living room, a cold draft brushed past me. The shadows in the corner seemed to move on their own. I could feel eyes watching me from every dark corner. Suddenly, a loud bang came from upstairs. My heart raced as I slowly made my way up the rickety staircase. I knew I should leave, but something was drawing me deeper into this nightmare.
