Giving this one another spin, That's right, the 1981 movie had Lauren Bacall, James Garner, Maureen Stapleton and a very young Michael Biehn as the obsessed fan. Well worth a watch for those who haven't seen it. |

I'm reading Anne Rice's The Witching Hour. I love this book. It has been a long time since I read it, so it almost feels new. I did not like the two sequels very much, but am thinking I will try them again, maybe age has changed my view on them. 🙂

I'm about 210 pages into The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg. I love her writing and storytelling so much! Only problem is that I now think everyone in the south has relatives like the characters in her books.

The Mayfair Witches are my favorite characters from Anne Rice. Even more so than the Vampire Chronicles, and I generally love vampire tales above all others.
I stuck with the series until they met up with the vampires.....then I got bored. |

Slowly plodding through A Prayer for Owen Meany and a re-read of The Tommyknockers. Started Emma Who Saved My Life by Wilton Barnhardt today. It's reminding me a little of Double Feature by Owen King (which I quit reading halfway through  ).

While reading Emma Who Saved My Life, I kept thinking about how much I loved Show World by the same author. So I had to pick that up again. I've read it two or three times, but according to a receipt I left in the book, the last time was 2008.

Finishing up Misery, started The Stand, in middle of Tom Clancy's the Sum of All Fears, in middle of the Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie, and Issac Asimov's the Complete Robot.
And this thread is way awesome for learning about new authors and works! Cheers to the creator!!

The House on cold Hill, by Peter James.
Very entertaining, a bit scary, nice characters and the pace is pretty fast.

I can actually trace my love of the horror genre to two things: second is the Universal monster films I used to watch every Saturday evening on TV with my father. The first would my mother's huge, lavishly illustrated version of the Grimm fairy tales. They were a British edition, not yet tarnished by Disney's watered-down safe-for-the-kiddies adaptations that were designed to sell merchandise. I really wish someone would do a premium cable series based on the original tales. The closest I've see would be Jim Henson's The Storyteller series, which balanced a kid-friendly appeal with the darker and more adult elements.
Brothers Grimm fairy tales were never meant for kids

The Grimms Fairy Tales done in the original would be awesome.

Started Under the Dome today.
Only 40 pages in but there are already some major differences to the Series.
