Indeed it is and the Movie rocks too!

Found THE GIRL NEXT DOOR (Is your copy by Jack Ketchum?) very well written, but very hard to get through. My daughter has reddish hair and the same name as the title character...found it more disturbing knowing it was based on a true crime in the 1960's.

It really and truly is.

I was just thinking about the first book about five minutes ago, and made a mental note to myself to read the other two. The first one was great. It had a very Lovecraftian feeling to me, and with me being a huge Lovecraft fan that was awesome. Definitely have to read the other two soon.

Yes, sort of Lovecraftian. Though I felt that the atmosphere of the first book was more like the atmosphere of the middle of House of Leaves.

SOPHIE'S CHOICE-William Styron

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...l/daemonic.jpg

Just finished this. Poor writing, poor character development, mediocre description. Decent idea for a story, but executed poorly. There is even a villain explains his master plan at the end. However it was great for helping me to fall asleep each night. Read a little, not become engaged, mildly entertained, drowsy and then sleep.

3/10

I chose this book because I had read Stephen Laws Darkfall. Again poor writing, but an interesting idea and it wasn't written as poorly as Daemonic.

How scary is this tale?

See No Evil
i saw the movie and decided to read the book

Just finished The Girl on the Train. Can't wait to see the movie.

ROCK ROADIE (2009). So far, very entertaining saga of a British Road MGR and the bands he enteracted with, like The Animals, Jimi Hendrix and Ike/Tina Turner among others.

Almost done with this baby. When I'm done I should be named master warlock or whatever.

Warlock are those school supplies I see? The hour is nigh.... ::devil::

Yeah whatever. The red one is for my Astronomy class.

Not as fun as astrology class.

We're also doing astrology.

I'm currently reading The Music Room by Dennis McFarland. The reason is this book has a beautiful story line and I find it very touching.

Finished The Straw Men by Michael Marshall.

It was alright. 4.5/10

Just started The Girl on the Train

FAR FROM SHORE-Michael Capuzzo. Very good account of the 1916 New Jersey Great White Shark attacks with a very much "You Are There" tone.

Myth-Nomers and Im-Pervections

by Robert Asprin

".....On the street where you live."
-Quote From An Anonymous Extortion Note

im reading nightmare by stephen leather, its a jack nightingale suspense novel and im quite enjoying it.

The Ghost Stories of Oliver Onions.

Mr. Shivers
Robert Jackson Bennett

In the book a man travels the rails during the Dust Bowl. He's searching for Mr. Shivers who killed his daughter. When the story starts he only has myths and information about where he possibly is/travel towards.

The story sounded very intriguing. The Dust Bowl, hobo life at that time, and a spooky killer. The description made me think a lot more would be about the hobo life, but in fact a lot of the traveling/story takes place away from railroads and Hoovervilles. It did not turn out to be as interesting as I thought it could have been. Most of the main character's search for Mr. Shivers was a kind of filler. They followed the timeline of the plot and did lead from one point to the next instead of side plots without resolution. However it still felt like I was reading unnecessary sections. The beginning was great as was the end. I wonder if the author struggled to put more into the novel to give it more length, ending up, to me, seeming like exactly that. Not necessary.

I'm divided on recommending it. Its probably worth a read, just do not expect much. Though I also think others might enjoy it more than me? My taste in literature does not seem to be mirrored often.

The Amazing Maurice and his EducatedRodents
Terry Pratchett

Maurice is a talking cat. The rats also all talk. Well this particular 'clan.' They ate from a pile of refuse occasionally thrown over the wall of the Unseen University, a university for wizards. So they became much more self aware, much smarter, and learned to speak. The clan leader is Hamnpork, but it is really led by a almost completely blind albino named Dangerous Beans. Also along with them is a musical prodigy who pretends to be a pied piper of rats.

A young adult book with humor, a little bit of adult humor, and surprisingly dark for the Pratchett's discworld books. Its not especially great, but its still enjoyable enough to be a reread to help me relax and fall asleep.

Bet that's a good one. Slow reader that I am I'm now starting my Halloween reading with this:

Creepy, bizarre, and difficult to capsulize. Just the way I like it.

Welcome back!

*Two Thumbs Up*

They didn't pull too many punches back in the 30's. There's a crucifixion scene in one of the stories that's pretty hard to take. REH was a powerhouse of a writer.

Just finished NOS4A2 (I'm behind), and it was excellent. My favorite Hill so far.

Now I'm rereading Cujo.

I'm about halfway through Charles Stross's latest, The Nightmare Stacks. It's a good series for Lovecraft fans, but I'm not thrilled with this one. He's gone about as far as he can with Bob Howard, and this one has a different main character.

I listened to the audio version of this and the people reading the stories all did great jobs.

A collection of horror stories from a variety of people. Its a great collection. Some of them are fantastic and some are not, but generally they're all good. Except the one from Ethan Hawke. Not a horror story at all, not sure why its in the collection. Anyway I highly recommend it. Lots of fun. Some of it reminds of the Borderlands anthologies which are amazing. Some of it wasn't that new, but still worth the listen.

Thank you.

Finished Cthulhu: The Mythos And Kindred Horrors by Robert E. Howard. Great stories, powerful story telling. "Pigeons From Hell" still packs a punch thirty years later but "Worms Of The Earth" read for the first time border line crazy, really bizarre and really cool.

Next up for Halloween:

This is a genuine greatest hits collection, all the famous ones here. Robert Bloch intro an extra treat.

ive 3 on the go,3 thrillers.

Now reading:

65mm was meh. Evil movie theater. Generic black person has the voodoo power. Nobody else's skin color is mentioned so they're all white. The writing was meh. Characters were nothing special. Most of what I expected to happen did happen. One of the main characer is a wife who apparently does nothing all day. Its never talked about except apparently she stays in the house and occasionally goes shopping for groceries. Kind of silly. I was able to finish it, but I would not recommend it. Her other book Shadow Twin is a decent read and a sort of metaphor for a parent who abused their child. That book I can recommend.

I have this in my collection and despite all the cliches, quite liked it.
How is it for You so far?
