Horror Aficionados discussion

So far its Addy and Eleven. Starting tomorrow, but can wait if need be. Please join us! Its short and a classic!

I have no business adding anything to my currently reading pile but I'll start today anyway. It's a perfect back to school read.

Any remmed books that have serial killers in them

Recommendation I mean

Love Rage! Great book. A lot of books with Serial Killers in them. Depends on what you are looking for? I write about serial killers and both my books are free today, but if you are looking for more main stream I would recommend American Psycho, Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and since its early that's the best I got for you.

Oh Yeah, the Dexter series also.

Thank those will work I've just started to explore so these will work thanks

sorry Addy, I couldn't find it. I didn't know it was out of print! did you see those Amazon prices?!

Its ok Latasha. I totally understand. I was lucky to find it for 4 bucks at a thrift store. I've looked for it on amazon b4 and saw the ridiculous prices. Its def hard to find.

Off the top of my head, I'd suggest checking out Not Comin' Home to You by Lawrence Block. The only cautions are (a) that it is over 40 years old and (b) I am a self-admitted fanboy of ol' Larry, that latter meaning my perspective is not as objective as it might otherwise be.

BTW, Stephen King is also a huge Lawrence Block fanboy, make of that what you will.

And Rage isn't just "out of print." King has gone out of his way to suppress publication. I had it as part of the The Bachman Books, now, alas unavailable. And my own copy surrendered when I had to downsize. :(

I can help you out with an ebook if you want to PM me your email address.

I can't believe I gave away my copy of The Bachman Books. I'm pissed that King is censoring his own material. After a great novel is published, it should remain in publication no matter what tragedies may occur decades in the future.

If an author ran off the road and got tortured by Kathy Bates would we be banning Misery?

Have you read the Luther Kite Series written by Blake Crouch?
This is the first one in the series, and I've read almost everything ha's written

I know what you mean eleven. When I read about king pulling Rage because of the school violence incidents, I was like why? And then thought id never have a chance to read Rage. Thank goodness there are still copies floating around for the taking.

I still have my original copy of The Bachman Books in hardcover, though it is worn and slightly tattered.

Mine had an intro by Stephen King. I guess Rage was initially called Getting It On and I sure know why now. I'm on ch10 and its playing like a movie in my head. Scary stuff!

(view spoiler)[ When u get there, less ur past it, what do u think of paragraph 3 ch10? Jekyll and Hyde? Makes alot of sense. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, the price is kind of steep for me too.

I just found The Bachman Books in paperback, so I ordered that set. It appears to still have Rage in it. I'll see when it comes. Hope you're all still reading!

Ch19 was brutal! Can't imagine being interrogated like that!

I'm making my way through this. it's been harder for me to read than I expected. I don't usually read realistic horror. there is enough of that on tv everyday.

I'm supposed to be getting my copy tomorrow.

I've never read anything from Stephen king is he good

I'm new to him as well. I've read the shining & listened to the audiobook Duma Key. I liked both of those. I read/listened to them with our group. If it wasn't for this group, I don't know if I ever would've read Stephen King. I had a bad time reading Christine when I was way too young for it.

Yeah, same for me. I don't think id read SK if it weren't for this group. So far I've read under the dome, the shining, and Dr sleep. I realized I was really missing out, because he really is a great writer.

IMO, SK's best books are Salem's Lot, The Stand, and The Shining -- his earlier stuff --

I'm on ch22. Where is everybody else at? I'll prob finish tomorrow. Its very realistic. Just glad I don't have kids in highschool right now, otherwise, it might be harder for me to read.

Finally got my copy today.

Yay!

I'm on chapter 14, how his parents met.

Just got done ch22....kinda makes me sad. I think that Stephen King was trying to capture what bullying can do to a kid...and in the end, that's what the message is.

Almost to ch26. Its hard to put this down!

I'm on pg 141, so close to finishing, but I'll stop. Alot of these places, bring back memories. I used to live near Bangor and my husband is from ME. Its kinda neat I guess.

I'm on chapter 21 or 48%. I really need to get on the ball & read more!

I finished today. Quite the experience. (view spoiler)[ The other kids turned on Ted... <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

I just finished myself...lol. Talk about a profound, mind boggling book that totally went Lord of the Flies on me. Wow!

(view spoiler)[I'm just amazed that Mr king started writing this short novel out of high school. Wow! There were definitely some memorable parts...Charlie's mom and the puzzle incident, the exchange of sex lives, being bullied at a party, and being beat up on by your own dad (that was intense). Of course lets not forget the class turning on their own classmate, but I totally get that! I really feel for Charlie. I was sad when his story ended. I almost feel like I know him. Is there a movie? There should be a movie. I'll be thinking about this for a while. (hide spoiler)]

I hate it when I miss a Goodreads update and suddenly, 9 days later, I'm still on page 5. I let this one slip but it's short enough I should be able to catch up soon.

It's still possibly my favorite King story. I'd hate to see it whitewashed from history.

This was an interesting one. It's not very long, so you should be able to catch up.

I finished it. It was ok. I didn't hate it.

I finally blew through the rest of it today. Still possibly my favorite King story. Profound dialogue and attitudes that remind me of The Catcher in the Rye
