Tommyknockers will always freak me out, for the reasons described above. But the first half of The Stand is the scariest piece of King's horror I've ever read, period. (Though I have to put in a word for The Mangler ). Gaiman's We Can Get Them For You Wholesale freaked me out, too.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I know I read Tommyknockers, which was a huge book, staying up all night in sophomore year of high school. I totally don't remember the story though.-- id it have anything to do with menstruation?

Oh, lord, "The Mangler." And "Breathing Lessons" was fairly freaky, too. Bet they won't be making a movie of that one.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Was Shadowlands the one with the house? And the kids?
Maybe I'm thinking Elizabeth Hand (whose, BTW, Waking the Moon? I really love. NSM some of her other stuff.)
Yeah, I think you're thinking of Black Light by Elizabeth Hand. I like that one, and Waking the Moon is all sorts of fun.
I haven't read Shadowlands since ... high school? Long enough ago that I don't really remember it. I should pick up a copy the next time I find one at a thrift store.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
Ooh, We Can Get Them For You Wholesale is fantastic. Some people I went to school with actually converted it into a short play for one of our directing classes, and apparently getting the rights from Gaiman's people was a big pain, but they sent them the finished script and (from what they say, anyway) Neil Gaiman really liked it. I thought it was very well done.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's my favorite Gaiman short story.

oh, fun! What shall I buy, there's too much to pick from! I got The Black Moth recently, and I have Masqueraders and The Grand Sophy in paperback.
Anyone have suggestions?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Cotillion, Talisman Ring, Frederica and False Colors are some of my faves.
