I recently got handed 'The Rising' by Brian Keene. I'm a little ashamed to say I've never read his stuff before (I'm a self-proclaimed zombie freak, so...) and I thumbed through it... and what got me was the splatter. He seems, at a glance, to be all about the shock factor... Anyway, my...

Reader's assumptions, I suppose, are a huge deal for me. When someone picks up something I've written and, when they're done, says something like, "I thought you were writing about zombies? This wasn't gory or scary." It always seems like they're looking down on me for taking something in a...

I'm not sure why it did that... there was a whole half a sentence there... and it was there when I skimmed through it before I posted... :confused:

Thank you so much; I read your comment about; it was a great thing to wake up to! :blush: I'm pretty omnivorous (I'll read just about anything anyone hands me), like I said, but if I had to name a couple of favorite authors... *ponders* George R. R. Martin is king in my eyes, old Stephen King...

Hi, I go by at0k, and I just joined... and posted like a crazy person. n_n! Anyway, I'm a single mom, and avid, omnivorous reader, and a wannabe writer (novels, screenplays...). My son's a big reader too. I'm bad at introducing myself. So hi!

Hi there! I've had this basic idea bumping around in my head for a while now, and I finally got around to slamming out the initial idea for it... and I thought I'd post, see what everyone thinks about it. Now, a bit of a warning; it's dark. Not woe-is-me kind of dark, but... well, read it, and...

Thought it's been about two years since I last picked this book up, I've read it a couple of times, and I'm very fond it. I'm going to dig it out again and give another go around; should be three days or so. Though I wasn't as impressed with the continuation of this story arc, Ender's Game all...

I know, it's an older thread, but still... I need to voice my opinion on this one. My grandmother bought these books for my son, and I read all of his books before he does (screening, you know?)... while I wouldn't let my seven year old touch these just yet, considering there's some...

Hi there, new member here, and WOW do I need some help! My son, who is seven and in the second grade, reads more than he does anything else, which I love... except for the fact that his favorite genre is REALLY hard to find. He loves horror, in book form especially, but in movies as well...
