I recommend you to read the two European-style suspense horror novels,"Wanted" and "Zombie". " Wanted for Terror " was a suspense-mystery novel written by the author with a snap of his fingers. It was about a mysterious wanted poster and a group of ordinary people who had a bizarre incident that involved horror, strangeness, bloodlust, and other elements. Zombies was a sci-fi novel about evolution and mutation. The plot was intense and exciting, similar to the atmosphere of an American sci-fi horror movie. These two novels can give you a European and American suspense and horror reading experience.
One of the best European horror novels is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. It's a classic that introduced the world to the iconic vampire, Count Dracula. The novel is set in Transylvania and England, and it creates a chilling atmosphere with its Gothic elements. Stoker's use of letters, diary entries, and newspaper clippings as narrative devices makes it a unique and immersive read.
They frequently use the local folklore and superstitions. In different European countries, there are unique supernatural beliefs that are incorporated into the horror stories. For instance, in some Slavic horror novels, they might use elements from their local tales of witches and demons. The characters in European horror novels are often complex, not just simple victims or villains. In 'Frankenstein', the monster has a sympathetic side as well as a terrifying one.
