The Devil in the Freezer -- Richard Preston

Cujo, by far the most disturbing of King's Books for me. At the time I read the novel my oldest son was the age of Tad.

Two short stories I found chilling:

The Willows The Willows (story) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Picture in the House: The Picture in the House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lovecraft is a master at bringing to live the subtle horror of degenerate backwoods denizons

Boop..I have never seen The Exorcist. nor plan to.

The Exorcist holds up very, very well. Still scary as hell after all these years.

Boop..I have never seen The Exorcist. nor plan to.

Yeah - I just can't. There's something in my protective psyche running interference.

I'm gonna pay attention.

If you are going to read just one Stephen King novel, The Stand is the one to read.

IT is pretty good, too.

A very good non-fiction thriller is The Devil in the White City. It is about a serial killer during the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.

ANYTHING by Douglas Preston or he & Lincoln Child. I just finished Impact (Preston), and it was superb.

Scary? A little. Interesting? Extremely.

Kwaidan by Lafcadio Hearn.

Swan Song is BETTER than The Stand. Have you read it yet? Robert McGammon.

Crying, and singing hymns in your head?

No. I have never heard of it. I will check it out. Thanks!

PLEASE read it. I doubledamnguarantee you...you will like it MORE than The Stand.

Meanwhile..is it just me, or did Doctor Sleep start off kinda good but then got boring? I am about 3/4ths of the way through it (no pc makes one find other entertainment), and it is a struggle just to keep going. Yawn.
Not enough detail on The True...how they came to be, not enough description on what they look like when they show their "other" faces during "feeding"...just a bunch of blah blah, name throwing like Flo The Progressive lady, Daenerys in Game Of Thrones, mundane chitter chatter, etc etc etc. I always keep books I want to re read later on down the road after a few years have passed and I have a small collection of them (Swan Song being one of many of Robert McCammon's) along with a few S. King and some Anne Rice...but this one? Um. no. I'll resell it on ebay after I hit the last page.

If you like scary, I highly recommend the Cthulu Mythos.

Popular Cthulhu Mythos Books

Better like scary though, because granite won't keep you safe if they come after you.
