The Shining, by Stephen King


- What's the scariest book that you've ever read?
I'm not sure, I tend not to read scary things.

- What "thing that goes bump in the night" are you reading about? What creatures of the night do you find most frightening?
The Shining is really creepy as you don't actually know what the thing that goes bump in the night is - I think that is far scarier than ghosts, werewolves and vampires.

What else gives you the chills?
Torture and sociopathic serial killers frighten the daylights out of me.

What are you reading this week? Weaveworld, by Clive Barker

What's the scariest book that you've ever read? It might possibly be...


What "thing that goes bump in the night" are you reading about? In this fantastical novel, the Menstruum are scary, shape-shifting, hideous creatures, made of mucus, blood, fire, blisters and other gross stuff. They hunt down several humans in Liverpool, England (we're known as Cuckoos), but more importantly, they are after an ancient race known as the Seerkind -- interesting beings that through "raptures" are able to invoke magic. Most of the novel takes place in The Fugue, a secret kingdom kept hidden by the Seerkind.

What creatures of the night do you find most frightening? Weird sounds; cockroaches; rats; bats.

What else gives you the chills? Donald Trump and his growing fascist regime and A Little Life, a book that I found highly disturbing.

I try not to read scary books. When I was younger the goosebump books scared the crap out of me. I can still remember the one about the lady in the mirror and sometimes when I go into the bathroom at night I can't look in the mirror just incase.
