That is so true. Have you read anything by Dan Simmons? His books are pretty scary too

I like N0S4A2 from Joe Hill too!

I do too! Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. His writing, along with early Dean Koontz stories, inspire my own books. Have you read Joe Hill's books? I love his book "Horns" the best of all his stories.

I have hundreds of books on my "to-read" shelf. I've noticed a great many people added my first book to their "to-read" shelves and several have already added my new book, "Dead in the Water" but I'm curious: how often do you read the books on your "to-read" shelves? For me, I'd say it's better than a 50% chance that a book on my "to-read" shelf is going to actually be read. My goal in 2014 is to read at least 10 books on my "to-read" shelf. What about you?

I think you're right. Shock value aside, if it doesn't further the plot, it's just gratuitous and unnecessary.

How much gore is too much?
