That sounds very interesting, thanks for posting the link. Have you ever read Lustmord: The Writings and Artifacts of Murderers?
"That ain't tactics honey. That's just the beast in me."

Moonshadow

George R.R. Martin's "A Storm of Swords" for pleasure and Joseph Farrell's "Reich of the Black Sun" for writing research.

zombiehorror

Making of Friday the 13th: The Legend of Camp Blood

Also started reading the novelization of The Wolfman (2010) pretty good read, delves a little more into the characters than what they could show in the film....picked the paperback up for $3 at Dollar General!

Illoman

Just got done reading "Beloved" by Toni Morrison. My daughter had to read it for school and was having a tough time with it. I got a copy at the library so I could read it along with her. It's essentially a ghost story, but the uneven writing style made it a tough read.

Now I'm re-reading Dracula. My oldest daughter got me an illustrated edition by Jae Lee for Christmas one year.

ChrisW

Just finished "11/23/63" by Stephen King.
Now re-reading "Blue Highways" by William Least-Heat-Moon

I happen to be reading a hitchcock presents right now too, I have four different books of his on my shelf and decided it was time to get them read. A postage stamp reminded me I had them. :o


And I recently found this one at the goodwill and have it by my chair to pick up every now and then and read about a famous persons death and where they are buried. It sure would be fun to spend a week or two traveling just to see some of these plots and take charcoal rubbings off of thier headstones.
Mirabile dictu,don't you agree?

:) that is so funny.. funnier yet, both books ( yours & mine ), look about in the same condition.. old and worn out, which is perfect in my opinion. :D
the other book you have there, I also have.. its alot like the one I posted before , called Goners. its good. if you havent read Goners, you should get it off amazon.. its worth it.
and as far as graveyard hopping .. sounds like a perfect vaykay :D
