He does mention specific works in passing, like:
* "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James (when talking about ghost stories)
* "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley (when discussing the monster archetype)
* "Dracula" by Bram Stoker (when discussing gothic horror)
* "Psycho" by Robert Bloch (when discussing psychological horror)
But the focus of the book is more about the general principles of horror rather than specific book recommendations. If you're looking for a comprehensive list of King's favorite horror books, you'd be better off checking out his other writings, like interviews or essays, where he might have mentioned specific works.
