You've now got me searching out Tryon's <em>Harvest Home</em> (a New England-based Wicker Man?) and oh my how great Bentley Little's <em>The Store</em> does sound. Keep these kind of posts coming, I can always use more recommendations about where to tie off a sweet horror fix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855076037924078503.post-11736769484261355212009-10-20T19:39:07.796-05:002009-10-20T19:39:07.796-05:00I love Rosemary's Baby!

It was the most expensive book I'd bought at the time - I'd read an article on it in a friend's National Enquirer and couldn't stand to wait for the paperback, so I bought it in hardback. I think it was $5.95 or something, which seemed ridiculously expensive at the time. Scared the hell out of me. Haven't read Let The Right One In yet, but like the movie much. I used to read novelizations, too... I remember getting in some trouble in first grade 'cuz I was reading the novelization of the Tales From The Crypt movie. I liked the Omen books, too...Zwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364540771153476179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855076037924078503.post-70475817492939885592009-10-20T10:44:41.880-05:002009-10-20T10:44:41.880-05:00With this post, the Halloween season is officiall...With this post, the Halloween season is officially here! Been catching up on horror fiction I've always meant to read, so this list is much appreciated. Also want to recommend Rosemary's Baby for anyone who hasn't read it. Very well written, suprisingly taut and subtle and efficient. The sequel sucks, though, as they often do. Also also finally read The Amityville Horror, which is poorly written and that's especially unfortunate since the story could be gripping. Also also also, I highly recommend the novel Let the Right One In, the unique Swedish vampire tale upon which the semi-famous movie is based; it's scary and disturbing and gross and completely engaging. Also also also also, I made a habit as a teenager of reading the novels upon which famous horror movies were based (or sometimes vice versa). I remember the novels of Halloween, Halloween 2, Poltergeist, and The Howling being excellent. Just FYI.kicker of elveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819019135835419846noreply@blogger.com
