I'm on the last book of my current stack, which included a Rachel Caine I'd never heard of - Glass Houses, about a town controlled by vampires, where college students are fair game - and a pile of Charlaine Harrises. Since there were no more southern vampire ones to read, I tried her Gravesight series and also the Aurora Teagardens, which make me think of an American Miss Marple, only younger and more fraught. spoiler for An Ice Cold Grave. )

That last book is the Poe tribute stories edited by Ellen Datlow, also very good for the most part and definitely evocative of Poe but not so scary. Maybe you had to be twelve when you first read Poe, the way I did, to have that sheer blankets-over-your-head terror reaction. I also had The Tell Tale Heart read to me in primary school, as many of the authors in this book seem to have. Talk about being marked for life!
