Thank you, Pixiegirl105. It just wasn't my cup of tea. It started strong, but kind of lost me in the middle. It would then started to ram up again, but ended abruptly. The ideas like the inclusion pictures were interesting, however some were better integrated than others. It may all be because it's the first part of a series.

DoDo, it's the witchiest time of the year, so you might enjoy Howl’s Moving Castle.

Okay, I just checked. I second Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I understand, I was hoping that it got the video game treatment first. Like MazM did to the ''Stange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "The Phantom of the Opera". Furthermore, if it has to be dark I would choose a American McGee darkness. It may be disturbing and sad, but has emphasis in healing and the hope of a better tomorrow.

Yeah, I chose it. I have never read it before, the only version of the Bear I know is the Disney one. It is in the public domain now so I wanted to read it before all the reimaginings were in full swing.

Funnily, I'm not surprised the fist one I saw promotionals for was the one where Pooh and Piglet are slasher movie killers.

I nominate Hogfather by Terry Pratchett, 402 pages.

Thank you, Cheryl. It was a nice book. Although, I wished the we got to see things play out instead of having the aftermath narrated.

For Lena I pick Carmilla. I like to being the spooky season a month early. It along with Polidori's The Vampyre crawled so Dracula could run.
