Lisey's Story was pretty interesting, I didn't exactly read it by choice I was stuck at a bus stop and they had that and a bunch of bad romance novels but all in all it was okay, pretty entertaining. Same goes for Bag of Bones which was kind of creepy and pretty different from anything else he's done. Neither were really my thing but if he can keep me fairly entertained while writing horror that's a feat in itself.

I really like The Bachman Books and would love to see The Long Walk turned into a film. I love horror movies but most Horror writers do nothing for me at all. Weaveworld by Clive Barker is a stunningly original horror. I would'nt mind reading that again. It's been over fifteen years since I read that.

Slapstick - Kurt Vonnegut
So far I'm a little let down. It hardly compares to anything else he's written.
Favorites are Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse-5, naturally.

Since when does horror have to be melodramatic? But apparently I've read all but two of his worst books so I dunno. I've read: Carrie, The Tommyknockers, Salem's Lot, Gerald's Game and the first Dark Tower.

I never said it has to be I said it tends to be.

Ok, I don't like melodramatic horror.
