Yes, I recommend Christine!!! =D If only fo...+JMJ+<br /><br />Yes, I recommend <i>Christine</i>!!! =D If only for the characters. When I think of Stephen King's skill at creating them, the phrase that comes to mind is "ex nihilo," for he really seems to make them out of nothing . . . and yet they're so freaking <i>real</i>.<br /><br />Most of <i>Christine</i> is narrated by the character Dennis Guilder, and when I was done reading, I felt so sad that Dennis wasn't real and that I couldn't write to him and tell him how moved I was by his story. Perhaps I should have written to King himself, but it was Dennis who was real to me. (I hope that doesn't sound too weird!)Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-38541432046881588422010-10-30T20:00:37.018-07:002010-10-30T20:00:37.018-07:00cj - thank you! happy halloween!
Indigo - I have...cj - thank you! happy halloween! <br /><br />Indigo - I have never heard of that book before. Maybe I'll check it out :) Thanks for bringing that up!<br /><br />Lesa - I have a very overactive imagination and get scared so easily my mom always wonders why I love horror so much :/ I have to admit, it is a bit odd. Hell raiser the movie sure scared me! Actually, one of my friends is going to wear a mask of the lead character and I'm sure I won't be able to look at him the entire night! haha!<br /><br />Julie P - Yes, it completely terrified me!<br /><br />holly - thank you! I would love to read yours when you put it up :)<br /><br />E - Ah, The Shining movie is pretty darn scary too, I have to say. I have not read Christine though! Do you recommend?Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-23048278880064603412010-10-30T10:56:04.088-07:002010-10-30T10:56:04.088-07:00+JMJ+
I just finished Stephen King's Christi...+JMJ+ <br /><br />I just finished Stephen King's <i>Christine</i> and was honestly, deeply spooked. =S If you had told me, before I started reading it, that I'd be scared of a <i>car</i>, I would have laughed at you. And in that case, you'd have the last laugh.<br /><br />These days, when I'm with someone who says something unflattering about someone else's car, I say, "Keep it down! You never know if that's another Christine!" <br /><br />LOL!<br /><br />I'd also like to get around to <i>Pet Sematary</i> soon. It wasn't available the last time I was at the bookstore. <i>The Shining</i> was, but my memories of the Kubrick film are still too fresh. I'd like them to fade a little more before reading the book.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-43511372508935542392010-10-30T02:19:48.859-07:002010-10-30T02:19:48.859-07:00I thought of making a similar post!

I don't read or watch horror anymore because I just get too creeped out-- but I have been tempted to dabble again-- maybe a reread of something would be safe.<br /><br />funny, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles is my favorite vampire series but I never considered them creepy or horror-- more like one long epic novel that just happens to be about vampires.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-55864204474045815232010-10-29T06:24:55.224-07:002010-10-29T06:24:55.224-07:00I've read and loved all these.
