Sci Fi, ok cool. Here are a few very entertaining Sci-Fi audiobooks (you can actually find some of these free).

Infected by Scott Sigler, with a sequel titled 'Contagious'. If you search for Scott Sigler online, you will be directed to his website, and can go through itunes to get the free podiocast.

I have other audiobooks that touches multiple categories. For a nice series, there are two I really love. The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, and The Dresden Files series.

Infected by Scott Sigler is scary, but not because of the subject matter. No, the scary part is the build up to one particular scene. It's the first book in a long time that made me not want to read more because I knew what was coming, but it was good enough to read it anyway. Now I can't look in my cutlery drawer with out cringing a little.

Many Stephen King books are horror and/or paranormal. Some are sci-fi/fantasy. He's a wonderful writer. (I have SK-related tattoos.) :D

If you like some sci-fi horror, allow me to also suggest "Infected: A Novel" by Scott Sigler. That was a great read!

There is a fantastic sci-fi/horror book trilogy about Morgellons and alien invasion by Scott Sigler. He captures the feeling of paranoia better than any book I've ever read.

u/old_dog_new_trick · 2 pointsr/booksuggestions

Try Infected by Scott Sigler. A blurb about the book:

A mysterious disease is turning thousands of ordinary Americans into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, their own families, and even themselves. And one morning, ex–football star Perry Dawsey awakens to find mysterious welts growing all over his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices, fighting uncontrollable rage . . . he is infected. Worse, the disease wants something from him, something that could alter the fate of the human race.

Whatever you do, don't read this.

Old Man's War (recommended by Penny Arcade!)

And if you can consider this science fiction, then Infected it's pretty awesome, and very raw and gritty

The Forest of Hands and Teeth. It's a YA novel, but it totally gave me weird dreams while I was reading it. Creepy as hell. I bought the sequel but haven't brought myself to read it yet.

Also, Infected: A Novel. Pretty atmospheric, although not amazing. I think it would work better as a movie than a book, which is a rare thing.

Cain

Contagious, but read Infected first.

I'll try to think of some others

I'm going to throw a couple of non-King books out there that are good Halloween reads....... Clive Barker Books of Blood........Amazing short stories......

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

And someone I know probably no one here has heard about...... Scott Sigler....... He's an amazing horror author.... Start with infected..... It's not for the squeamish lol https://www.amazon.com/Infected-Novel-Scott-Sigler/dp/030740630X

One of the guys writing about him on amazon said this about it...... "Part Stephen King, part Chuck Palahniuk, Infected blends science fiction and horror into a pulpy masterpiece of action, terror, and suspense.  Three recommendations: don't read it at night, or just after you've eaten a full meal, or if you're weak of heart.  You've been warned!"

Infected by Scott Sigler was excellent.

Infected by Scott Sigler

Idk how much I should say, but I was physically in pain while reading this in some parts. There was one specific section in particular that I got my female friend to read first and let me know how bad it was before I would start again. Was I overreacting? Maybe a little... but just the thought of it now (A friend lent it to me) is causing me to begin going back into the fetal position.

[For the brave or uncaring](/s"The book follows 2 or 3 storylines, but one of them is about a guy who becomes infected by these little spores that attach themselves to five or six different parts of his body, including his butthole and ballsack, and begin to grow. As the book continues, he realizes he has to kill the spores and so starts finding ways he get rid of them (pulling, burning, etc.) until he gets to the one attached to his ballsack. SO PAINFUL TO READ")

Ender's Game and sequels. I read it before it was cool and all hollywood.
Don't watch the movie(s), they will more than likely suck. God I miss those books. EDIT: Aw shit someone else suggested it... okay then.. think.. aw fuck.. OH! Infected, had to google for it. http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/030740630X Involves alien invasion via spores, blue triangles, gore, and that's only in the first 6 chapters. Reader discretion is advised, it gets violent. Don't forget to read the sequels as well, they're all good and usually available in the adult people section of your local book repositorium.

I love Dean Koontz. I'm from Pittsburgh originally, but spent my teen years in Bedford, PA. I used to pass his old house on my way to work! haha.

It's no secret that I'm a huge Stephen King fan, but I can understand why people don't like a lot of his books. Although I do have to say, I think you may still like 11/22/63.

Otherwise, I would suggest reading Infected by Scott Sigler. It's so good! I may end up reading it again.

My favorite Koontz book is Phantoms. But my favorite opening to a book ever is, "Death was driving an emerald green Lexus" from Invasion.

Thanks for the contest!
