HDC Top 100 Horror Books

[swiss tony]

As long as they watch horror, listen to guitar based music and follow Liverpool I don't give a shit what they do cause, if they're doing any of those, we're going to get on fine.

I bet they grow up a pair of rom com watching, raver Evertonians!:D

Let's see some more readers!

Apologies everyone for having been in as infrequently as I have. Three weeks ago, I found out my mother has lung cancer and will have to undergo chemo. It's been difficult dealing with this and the need to produce more work. I'm with you, HDC and hope to see some more lists and ideas for this project.

Really sorry to hear that.

Damn...

Really sorry to hear that, Doc. I hope the chemo works and she responds to it and pulls through. My best wishes to her, you and your family, my friend.

Thank you, Wickerfan, V. We're all hoping so. My youngest brother is 9 and my sister is 11. I'm doing everything I can to keep my mind off things, so I might end up spending more time on here.

I see you mention Carrie there V. Quick question, is it a better book or movie?

I think it's one of the rare occasions when the movie surpasses the book, just. Though both are excellent.

Nice contribution, V! It's cool that you included Keene. Him and I have the same editor.
