On Writing Horror: A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association
I may also get in to reading Blood & Chocolate, Salem's Lot or finish ... well, I have a lot of novels to finish that are currently on my bookshelf. I just finished Cell last night and decided to give my brain a break for a day or two from reading fiction to reading books on writing different genres.

You mean Cell by Stephen King? I just finished that one too. Not sure I like the sudden stop at the end. Thats the only book of his I've read, he doesn't do that often does he?

Yeah, that's the one.
And to be honest, I dunno how the other books endings are because Cell is the first Stephen King novel I've read, too. I have his other book, Salem's Lot, which I haven't finished yet. So I'm not sure what to say.
I'm pretty sure, though, his endings are all different; So I don't think they'd all have that kind of an ending.
Sorry I can't be much help.

I'm currently reading "Mr. B. Gone" by Clive Barker. Came across this book from a friend who hadn't read it yet. Its about a little demon from the underworld who gets "caught" by a mans fishing line and ends up in the upperworld. Its ok, so far. The premise is that the demon posesses the book and from the begining of the tale, he (the demon) is begging you (the reader) to burn the book and put him out of his misery. Little graphic at times- for example, the author describes how the demon falls instantly in love w/a woman who shortly thereafter falls into a boiling hot pot of water and when the others try to pull her free u can hear the "slup" sound of her skin sliding off from her hands. Pretty gruesome there but for the most part an ok read. Want to find out why the demon is contained within the book.
I read "Running w/ scissors" and another book by him. They were ok.

We're reading The Scarlet Letter in my English class right now. I would like it a lot more if my teacher weren't being such a pain about it with her ridiculous projects.

Too Cool by Duff Brenna, just finished. About four wayward teens (2 boys, 2 girls) who get trapped in a car in the middle of nowhere outside Denver buried in snow. Very well written, suspenseful...
Just started Handling the Undead, new one by John Lindqvist who did the amazing Let the Right One In. He's going for zombies instead of vampires this time.

It's just a comedy book. I tend to read a lot from the humor section.

Horus Heresy- The First Heretic. Not impressed so far, there is already a mustache twirling evil dude who you know is going to be the main villain.
Why can't we have good people with flaws, or flawed people with redeemable qualities who end up the "bad guys".I don't like how authors portray some characters as cheesy comic book villains.
