Herbert's The Dark has some pretty frightening scenes and is a pretty good read, except for the final chapter where it seems like he just wanted to finish it and get it to the publisher.

You can make the check out to me... ;)

I would say a good one to start with is Carrie, mainly because it's shorter than most of his novels. Personally, I prefer his earlier stuff - Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, The Shining and The Dead Zone. The Bachman books are a good place to start, too, though most of them aren't really horror.

Ultimate Spider-Man is a reboot which I believe was intended to lure new readers who liked the Spidey movies but who were overwhelmed by the normal continuity of the standard Spidey titles. As I understand it Spidey's origin in "Ultimate" was altered to be more like his origin in the first...

I plan on ordering the collections one of these days. I love Romero's zombie movies and this series looks interesting... :eek:

A while back I read Ann Rule's The Stranger Beside Me about Ted Bundy, and even though I'm a guy and reasonably capable, a passage in there absolutely raised the hair on my neck. One of Bundy's victims disappeared on a college campus, walking from a fraternity house back to her sorority house...

I read IAL in college while I was taking a Vampire Literature course. It wasn't required, I just heard about it and impulsively bought it at a bookstore. Very interesting; you can see why it's a landmark. Definitely unlike any other vampire fiction I'd read up to that point. You can see it's...
