It.

[MasterKeyX]

So, I have been sort of bored lately (even with the coming of Brawl, which has taken over approximately 43% of my life) and I picked up a book that my girlfriend had recommended to me.

The book I'm rwading is the 1090 page ballad known as It, by Stephen King. Andf might I tell all of you, i have a newfound fear of clowns.

Basically I made this topic to see if anybody else could recommend me a book to read, preferably of the horror genre.

And you can also discuss Stephen King/It/A fear of clowns here.

THIS IS BATTERY ACID

*ROARRR*

Um, I liked the book.

You should read 'The Taking' by Dean Koontz.  The ending is pretty smexy.

[Hi no Seijin]

I think Parasite Eve by Hideaki Sena is horror.  *checks*  Yep, science fiction/horror.  I haven't read it myself (yet), but it sounds like an interesting read.

[MasterKeyX]

Are either of these books 1k or more pages long?

[Keaton]

It's all right, but the game isn't any good.  Don't even bother playing it.

[MasterKeyX]

Thank you for the advice; nothign worse than a waste of cash on  a bad game.

Especially on a game that's a decade old.

[Hi no Seijin]

According to Wikipedia, Parasite Eve is 319 pages.

As for Tacheon, I'd rather try the game myself.  I think I know someone with one of the games, but unfortunately, he lives in a different city.

I'm trying to tackle the entire Stephen King library right now, but I'm not even a fourth of the way done.

I never got that far in the game of Parasite Eve... XD; I remember the stupid alligator in the sewer. It lived in a sewer.

The movie is ridiculous for It. It could be the fact that I read the book, I watched it a few months ago, and the AMAZING special effects.

I suggest Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Steven King... it's a lot of short stories, but some of them are really good. Also, Misery by Mr. King is a good read. I have a fear of lawnmowers because of that one. 8D

Different Seasons. A novel is an affair; a short story, a kiss.  But Novellas lie in that in-between of ideas and vividness without stretching everything.

Heh, I got the novel/short story analogy above from Skeleton Crew. Lots of good short stories in there.

In regards to Stephen King, I was thinking of reading The Dark Tower books. There are like 7 but I heard they are pretty good.  :P

Im also planning on reading Insomnia and Dreamcatcher.

[Twilight Wolf]

I also recommend that you read "'Salem's Lot." I loved that book.

idk about horror, but if u like blood and gore, id recomend "the hot zone" it about an icky virus...

[darkphantomime]

So did I. I also really liked Firestarter. Provided an interesting relation between myself and the world when I was in middle school.

Middle school was a time when I read a fair bit of horror... Dark times, Dark minds, Dark ides.
