Excuisite Corpse ......."Blood-soaked sheets, cannibalism, rotting, half-dissected corpses: this gruesome psychological horror novel has all the grue a reader might or might not want."
Poppy Z Brite rocks my world.
Lost Souls is one of my favourite vampire stories, an excellent read, plain and simple. It makes you want to crawl inside the characters and view life from their drug induced, demented perspective.

Freddy Krueger. 06-15-2004 07:36 PM

Hannibal, by far. I love a good Horror and scary book. A book that doesnt skip on the scary action. The Dark Half was a good book, too...

I have nearly all of Poppy's books, with two more on the way. I never use to read much, that was until a friend gave me Drawing Blood to read.

Have you read any of the Sonja Blue ser. by Nancy a. Collins

Zillah 06-16-2004 05:46 PM

No, never heard of them.

Steelsymth 06-16-2004 06:28 PM

See if you can find a book name Sunglasses at Night by Nancy A.Collins it's the 1st of 3 books about the vampire names Sonja Blue very good. I met the author at a book signing nice lady.

That was a good answer. I have a big, fat copy of "The Unabridged Edgar Allan Poe" sitting right here. I like much of his stuff ... but a lot of it is quite crappy. Since you brought up the classics, though, I have to say I LOVE "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". I have probably read that more times than anything else in my library.

Favorite horror book of all time: Shakespeare's "MacBeth". I'm an English teacher, what can I say? Shakespeare was actually the Stephen King of his day. People would come to his plays not only for the stories he told, but also for the blood. They loved it! The actors would fill thin sacks with pigs' blood and entrails, and hide it under their costumes. During a sword fight, if they were hit by a sword, they would burst the bag with their arm and let the blood and guts spill out from under their shirt.

The Stand is a good book. I thought it was one of King's better books.
