The Road Out of Hell by Anthony Flacco

True crime novel examining the Wineville murders in So. Cal. in the 20's- the case the movie Changeling is based on. The story is truly grisly and harrowing in its depiction of a psychopath who preyed on orphans.

Joe Hills Heart Shaped Box: Scary, creepy, and wierd. Apparently noone around me has ever heard of Algernon Blackwood so while being frustrated at multiple bookstores i got the suggestion from here and couldnt be happier with it. Very good book.

Good to see someone getting into this author. Kudos to you Freddy.

Blackwood and Joe Hill are both good stuff. 20th Century Ghosts is the kind of collection I hope to be able to put out someday, Horns is a cool blend of horror and neonoir and Locke and Key is one of the more interesting horror comics in the past few years.

If im not mistaken i belive i found the Blackwood reference from NE and the Hill reference from Doc. Although i cant remember the threads t hanks for the references. They are both great. Hill's Heart Shaped Box was one scariest books ive ever read.

my friend let me borrow this book "the psychology of persuasion: how to persuade others to your way of thinking". I might take a 2nd job selling cellphones with fido and I have never really done any marketing. I've always thought I'd be fantastic at it, a little extra knowledge won't hurt. I'm about halfway through, I'm enjoying it so far and apparantly the second half of the book contains more useful information. one of the few books on psychology I've read that wasn't mainly a history lesson.

Peter the Great (1980) by Robert Massie. This autobiography is not only a great account of one of the most influential men that Russia ever produced, but also paints the requisite ancillary history of Russia and its neighboring kingdoms such that the full picture is better appreciated. It is turning into a short 900+ pages. Late.

Who's the author of that? I want to brush up on marketing.
