I read Thrillers and Horror year-round, LOL.


Have to be careful with some Horror. For example, I loved Stephen King's Firestarter, Dead Zone, Salem's Lot, and The Green Mile, but Pet Semetary and The Shining were way too scary....I had to hide them in the laundry hamper at night when I went to bed....just couldn't sleep with them laying out on the table, LOL. And Thinner (I think King may have written this as Bachman, maybe) nearly made me barf. I still gag just remembering that one. I also don't think I've ever read a single Straub or Saul that hasn't scared me witless; finally had to stop reading their stuff. Some of the kiddie horror writers aren't half bad, like Christopher Pike and RL Stine, and Lois somebody-or-other......I used to read their stuff right along with my kids when they were younger. Some of Koontz' stuff I like too, for example, House Of Thunder, Lightning, and that one about the golden retriever and the monster....forget the title of that one though. (It's somewhere on my bookshelf, I'm just too lazy to get up and look right now.)


I like Kay Hooper's psychic thrillers tremendously. Her most recent one that I just finished last week is Chill Of Fear.


Someone on one of the boards mentioned the title Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye. That was a cool tale as well.


Anne Rice's The Mummy is a super read. I've always been disappointed that she did so many Vampire L'Estat and Mayfair Witch stories and not another Mummy tale.


Alice Borchardt's (she's Anne Rice's sister, BTQ)
