    Heh. Some of the books I read are really long and take me a couple of weeks to get through them.

    These are the 3 I am studying extensively right now. I’m trying to spread my reading out over a lot of different books and pages. So far Something Wicked doesn’t seem like horror, but it is set on Halloween.

    Weird Tales edited by Marvin Kaye. I picked up this anthology at a yard sale for 25 cents. When I got home, I found that I already had a copy in hard-cover. But I figured, am I going to return a book I bought for a quarter? So now I'm re-reading it, only in paperback.

    It isn't really terrifying horror, but more supernatural fantasy. Some of his short stories, however, are indeed scary.

    Nada Menos que todo un Hombre, written by Miguel de Unamuno. Iit's a pretty short book (usually collected with other stories) so I read it all today. I'm going to start reading Amuleto, written by Roberto Bolaño

    Controversial opinion: The Silmarillion is much more interesting than LOTR. It might read like a bible first but I love the tales to be found inside (the audiobook especially)

    Just finished Steel Crow Saga by Paul Krueger, a SFF novel about an Asian inspired postcolonial world with a system of magic called pacting. I really enjoyed it.

    That's difficult to explain without spoiling them for you. All I can say is if "The Next in Line" or The Small Assassin" don't do anything for you, then I would be surprised.

    The premise of Fahrenheit 451 is a pretty scary idea, wouldn't you say?
