I knew they were lying, and they both told me that Silence of the Lambs (I know, different author) was “not that scary”. SO MANY LIES. I know what they do in those books! I’m not having any of it!

Or delusional! Or possibly in deep denial! For real, that book is terrifying. The first time I read it when I was twelve, I got up and turned on every light in the house–even though it was a sunny afternoon and I lived on a busy street. It was that creepy. It still gives me the heebie jeebies, especially if I’m up late reading it … alone … in the dark …

AAAAH!

That’s what everyone says about The Shining! But it looks really scary to me! I have a low, low, low tolerance for suspense; not in love with man’s inhumanity to man, either – Lord of the Flies freaked me out so, so much. Maybe I’ll try some Stephen King sometime, though, because I’ve heard a lot of good things about him. (But not Misery. Yuck.)

They aren’t horror at all, at least not in the supernatural or psycho killer way. They’re more about man’s inhumanity to man, and the triumph of the human spirit, and whatnot.

That’s what I hear. I want to get hold of Battle Royale, but I am way too frightened of Stephen King to read the other two. I haven’t read any of his books. I haven’t watched or read The Shining. Never yet heard a compelling enough argument to convince me to change this policy…
