I heard recntly they changed some of the artwork in newer releases people claiming it was too scary for children. Same with the original covers of the Goosebumps series.

7 books look to be finalised from the first batch till now. We still need 3 more.

Are there any other poetry collections in the other shortlists (besides Poe's poems which have already made the cut?) If not then Ariel is as much a great example of horror poetry (though not all Sylvia Plath's poems in that collection has horror elements) as we are likely to get to Poe to represent poetry so I recommend it for that simple reason. Please nightmare of death or anyone wanna second me???

Found this interesting list on the net today....10 Deleted Chapters that Transformed Famous Books

Two immediately jump out - The Raven & The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Thanks V ok my 3 choices to back for inclusion are:-

Ariel-Sylvia Plath
A Warning To The Curious-MR James
Books Of Blood-Clive Barker

Anyone else willing to chip in with their choices?
