User blog comment:PixCity/Book Suggestions, Anyone?/@comment-25941663-20161103223123

One underestimated author is Valerio Massimo Manfredi. I highly suggest Chimaira. It is not the best overall, but really great in suspense and myster. It also has some elements of fantasy.

If you like Sherlock Holmes, I suggest you check out Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Thief by Maurice LeBlanc. Very entertaining read, although it is not horror.

For adventure/fantasy similar to a Tolkien work, I highly suggest R.A. Salvatore. He has written many, many books, so I will point you to his Forgotten Realms works. Start from the beginning and go from there, if you wish to read up on him.

Lastly, you can take a look at Tales of Terror and Mystery. It is written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes. It is a collection of short stories. Not of the same caliber as his Sherlock Holmes collection, but there are some very good reads in there nevertheless.
