I'm currently reading "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". It's fairly good so far. Not my usual sort of book but I occasionally delve into the classics.

I am reading The Mist by Stephen King. It's a short story in the Skeleton Crew, and according to Mark Laidlaw (Writer for Half-Life), it was one of the inspirations for the game's story.

Years Best Fantasy and Horror (2003)
__________________
Snow falling and night falling fast, oh fast In a field I looked into going past, And the ground almost covered smooth in snow, But a few weeds and stubble showing last. The woods around it have it--it is theirs. All the animals are smothered in their lairs. I am too absent-spirited to count; The loneliness incluces me unawares. And lonely as it is, that loneliness Will be more lonely ere it will be less-- A blanker whiteness of benighted snow With no expression, nothing to express. They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars--on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places. Desert Places--Robert Frost |
