Taken from Kirk Hammett’s Top 10 Horror Books – Unseen Metal and Monsters Clip! 🎃
If you’re a fan of Kirk Hammett, you already know he’s a MASSIVE horror fan! Just in time for Halloween, we’ve got an exclusive never-before-seen clip from Metal and Monsters on GTV! In this special interview, Metallica’s legendary guitarist and horror aficionado Kirk Hammett shares his top 10 all-time favorite horror books. Featuring works by masters like Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, H.P. Lovecraft, Clive Barker and more, Kirk takes us on a horror ride through the books that have been scaring him since he was a kid, starting with Edgar Allan Poe.
From The Shining and The Tell-Tale Heart to Carrion Comfort and beyond, Kirk shares the books that still scare him and that he wholeheartedly recommends if you want a frightfully good time. He also talks about how the dark worlds of Peter Straub and Thomas Harris helped shape his love of the horror genre—and even influenced some of Metallica’s most metal tracks - The Call of Ktulu which is the eighth and final track for Metallica's second album Ride the Lightning! And he gets personal about his connection to Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and how it relates to his San Francisco days.
