What's Bradbury's scariest story to you?
I haven't read "The Playground" in ages. But his scariest story for me is "All Summer In A Day".
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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."

Because books.
Speaking of Cold Kiss, it's a free book today on Nook.
Really? I thought that was supposed to be the end of the week.

I haven't read much Bradbury (yet!), but "The Veldt" creeps me the hell out. I read it at least ten years ago and it still lingers vividly in my imagination.

I'd suggest that you don't read "The Small Assassin" until Rose is much older.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You mean "Children Are Bastards"?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I loved King's "On Writing," so I guess I'll have to find "Danse Macabre."
Me too. Of course horror scares me so they will be the only Stephen King I ever read. But I really liked "On Writing."
Sadly, "Danse Macabre" isn't available as e or audio from my old library. I just checked. Or, drat, my new library. I could have used that as a poke to go get a new card. (Still keeping my old one.)

The gmail one, please. It's easier for me to keep track of things on the phone there. Thank you!
