I thought that when i was a younger fella, then i saw the Dead Zone .. I thought it was a much better movie than a book ...

PurplePoison89 11-22-2004 02:35 PM

favorite book with a horror theme ?
Something Wicked This Way Comes - Ray Bradbury.

Non horror - I love Graham Greene ... particularily : A Burnt Out Case

Marroe 01-15-2005 10:12 AM

I can't really say what my favorite is, but the one I've liked the longest is 'The Phantom of the Auditorium'. It's a "young adult/childrens" book. I have been reading the 'Series of Unfortunte Events' for a while, and am in the middle of 'The Devil in the White City', which is the only adult book I have been reading. I think it's time to start looking into getting some more:D

Katelan1089 01-24-2005 05:46 PM

I would have to say Pet Semetary- now that is one CREEPY book!!!!!!!

Amalthea 01-24-2005 11:02 PM

I used to read It and Misery, John Christopher (If it counts) and books by the Danish writer Dennis Jyrgensen when I was in school, and then there was a book by Dean R Koontz I canīt remember the name of.

aborted 02-13-2005 04:49 PM

not horror - a clockwork orange, the play on language in this book paints a perfect picture of good and evil existing within hours of each other.

Za'afiel 02-20-2005 11:51 AM

"The Gunslinger" and the rest of SK's books.

WHERE THE WILD THING ARE by Maurice Sendak

barbra 04-09-2005 06:46 PM

that is like the hardest question
for mindless entertainment my favorite is the whole dark elf series by salvatore
I really like the way stranger in a strange land puts everyday perceptions in perspective
I really love to cry when Gandolf and all the magic get on the boat in RotK
Im entertained by the errie love in lolita
I get sucked into the drama of anne rice's world
I fly with dragons thanks to macaffrey
I learn how to bring down wal-mart with Bill Quinn
My femma-nazi side is subdubed when I read the mist of avalon
blah, there are too many. I suppose I could list all the books that stay in my room because I read them over and over but who's got the time for that?

Marroe 04-10-2005 08:44 PM

All time favorite book no matter how old I am, Is The Phantom of the Auditorium by R.L Stein
