Roger, I recommend two novels by the wonderful Octavia E. Butler: KINDRED, a frighteningly disorienting tale about time travel, and FLEDGLING -- an imaginative, highly original twist on vampire lore. (The latter should prove especially interesting after you've read I AM LEGEND.)

Both Butler tales contain some violence but are hardly gore-driven; and both are currently in print as trade paperbacks. And if you've never seen the movie, you should get mileage out of Thomas Tryon's THE OTHER.

"Pet Sematary" is probably the most disturbingly scarey books I've read. I can't describe it without giving away the scares, but a few really disturbing things happen in the middle of the book that would only cross the mind of Stephen King and will stay with you for a long time.

"'Salem's Lot" is also really good.
