It's a collection of YA booklists. There were several horror lists there.

Let's not forget William Golding's Lord of the Flies. (I wish I could!)

Martin Greenberg, in company with assorted co-ed's, has turned out numerous
themed anthologies, available in paperback, some fantasy, some sf, and some
horror. Two which are quite recent are "Prom Night" and "Single White
Vampire Seeks Same." These should be suitable.

Mercedes Lackey's Diana Tregarde Investigations, which often have a teen
angle, would be another possibility.

Depending on the reading level of your ya's, you could suggest the
classics--"Dracula," "Frankenstein."

Fred Saberhagen wrote a series of horror-fantasies that are grouped under
the title "The Dracula Files." Individual volumes include: "The Dracula
Tape," "The Holmes-Dracula File," "An Old Friend of the Family," "Thorn,"
"Dominion," "A Question of Time," "A Sharpness on the Neck," and "Seance for
a Vampire." They are suggested as suitable for teens.

A couple that I haven't seen mentioned yet are:
The Blooding, by Patricia Windsor - au pair gets changed into a werewolf by
her charges' father
Whispers from the Dead, by Joan Lowry Nixon - horrifying mystery about a
really gory murder
The Changeover, by Margaret Mahy - girl discovers her brother is slowly
being drained of life and changes herself into a witch to stop it
Stones of Muncaster Cathedral, by Robert Westall - cathedral houses an
ancient evil. Short and creepy. Westall has other titles to fit this
category as well.
