Who is your favorite author and what is your favorite book they've written? If you want you can list more than one if you have a hard time picking more than one. My favorite author is Stephen King no contest. I've loved everything he's written. But my personal favorite by him would have to be "The Stand". Actually it's my favorite book of all time. A close second would be his Dark Tower series. Just excellent.

I've published mostly nonfic articles and essays on a few different topics (Human rights, Censorship and Horror movies, Animal rescue) and I used to do a monthly humor column in my college newspaper. I've also got some poetry in an anthology called Stories from Home - it's a collection of poems and short stories by women writers in New England, where I used to live. I finally got hooked up with an agent, and she liked the outline and sample chapters of the book I'm working on now (history of horror films with a focus on how they exploit the fears of different decades/cultures) enough to ask to see the finished product by the end of this year. Woot! No promise that she'll represent me (or even not throw stuff at me), I'm just thrilled that she's interested enough to want to see it. If it's published, the title is Monsters Under our Beds: A Cultural History of Horor - which sounds kinda fancy-like for what is really just an excuse for me to watch Bride of Chucky with a bowl of popcorn and some hard lemonade and call it research.

Well keep us up to date on it. Of course when It comes out I'll want to buy a signed copy from you. Then I can show it off to all my friends and say I met her on a message board before she was famous. ;-)

Clive Barker:Hellbound Heart That's the short story they based Hellraiser on right? I've heard he's writing a sequel to it.

I'm worried that she'll kill him off in the last book. Because she claims she doesn't want anyone writing Harry Potter after her. That would be the one way to guarantee it.

It's a world of magic, they could bring him back, so if they kill him it doesn't really matter. If it sells, they will find a way... everyone thought Jason was dead in Part 4, but he came back, somehow, someway. And it's said that Barker will kill Pinhead off by Pinhead committing suicide, which seems silly to me.

I really have never read a full book,
I read half of " The count of Monte Cristo" in school, but we watched the "old" movie version, so I never finished the book.
Other than that the only book I have read was "Crystal Lake Memories"
But from the movies that they have made, I would have to say that Stephen King is my Fave Author. I liked Cujo and IT
