    The Thief of Always by Clive Barker

    Has anyone else here read this book? I thought it was amazing, at the time Barker was best known for his horror, or perhaps only known for his horror, but I thought this was most amazing book. I think he really accomplished something with it. A child of 10 could read it, understand it, and enjoy...

    Michael Ende: The Neverending Story

    I absolutely adored this book, I read it when I should have been too old to really enjoy it, but I enjoyed it anyway. I was already a fan of the movie from my childhood, but the book is so much better and without that bad puppet dog-dragon. I have never even seen another book by Michael Ende...

    The Best Character in Fiction?

    Roland Deschain of Gilead, Son of Stephen, Last Gunslinger, Dinh of the Ka-Tet of 1999. Without a doubt the most interesting character I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

    Most Disappointing Authors?

    Clive Barker's first few books were great and I thought he would be the next Stephen King. But alas, he hasn't written anything worth reading in years

    Prey

    Prey by: Brandon Michael Collinsworth It was really a nice dream. The field was full of grass a beautiful color of copper. A single solitary tree stood tall in the middle. Across the field was a pristine doe staring back at me. It’s beautiful dark eyes peering right into me. But the dream...

    Stephen King / Dark Tower Comics!

    I couldn't be more excited about this. I am not surprised that it has been delayed already, I would have been surprised if it had not been delayed. I mean King did leave the Ka-tet on Blaine the psychotic mono for ten years before Wizard and Glass

    Best book to movie?

    I thought Pet Semetary was a great translation, but King did the screenplay for that so that helped. Both the movie and book scared me. People keep mentioning Kubrick's version of The Shining and that has to be the worst translation of a King novel ever, and that is saying something. Now I am...

    Five Best Horror Novels

    It's cool to see a fan of The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker. That was not the easiest book to read, but it was damn good. I couldn't get into the sequel Everville. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing was.

    Stephen King: The Dark Tower 1: The Gunslinger

    The Dark Tower series is my favorite books ever. The Gunslinger sat in King's garage for ten years before it was published, King didn't like it, and at first didn't like Roland. Me I liked the book when I first read it, but didn't love it. I then read The Drawing of the Three, and didn't care...

    George Orwell: Nineteen Eighty-Four

    I loved this book, but it scared me almost as much as a Stephen King book. I look at what my government says and don't say as in Ignorance is Strength. A large population of our country believes they have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, if that isn't double-think then I don't know...

    Stephen King

    Stephen King is my absolute favorite writer. There are only a handful of his books I haven't read. I am a Dark Tower fanatic, I have read the whole series three times and counting. So the Tower books are by far my favorite, but other than the Tower books: The Green Mile - the movie is good...

    Most hated 'classic' novel you've actually read

    Great Expectations is the biggest piece of crap ever written. Charles Dickens can kiss my *ss.
