In not-scary book news, Lizzie Skurnick is getting her own imprint to resissue out-of-print and forgotten YA titles.
Somebody should tell her to do Sinbad and Me!
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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."

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, Ann Rule and Bundy worked at a rape crisis hotline together.

I remember Ann's stories of him walking her to her car late at night and telling her to be careful because of the dangerous people out there. And she always felt very safe with him.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The fiction that freaked (and freaks) me out the most is the Ray Bradbury short story "Skeleton," about the man whose bones hurt.
King novels tend to be so overblown and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink that I don't find them scary.
I think one reason Salem's Lot is so frightening is that it dates back to when he was still being edited.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I've been listening to the companion album this evening while I work, and there are a couple songs that...make me uncomfortable. And a couple that make me wonder what's coming...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, the Poe album? I haven't read House of Leaves, but that's a great album. That I can't remember the name of.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The collection of King shorts, Night Shift, had some of the downright scariest stories. Grey Matter still gives me the wig.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I haven't read House of Leaves, but that's a great album. That I can't remember the name of.
Haunted. Yeah, it's great.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
When I was reading It, soon after reading the bathroom scene I went in to take a shower. Afer some spitting, the water came out ... red-brown.
It was just rust and cleared in a minute or so, but gave me a nasty shock.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
That's kind of horrifying for non-supernatural reasons. Who wants a shower that you have to clean yourself up from using?
