So I gave in to literature. I thought, what the hell. I've been doing the research thing for 12 years. I thought that I might start off slowly so I picked up The Books of Blood Vol 1-3.
Now, friends, Romans, Countrymen, was that wise, because so far, I'm totally not impressed. I'm also sort of sad. I've always wanted to be Mrs. Clive Barker, but as it turns out, he's gay. Seems, I have not been "in the know."

The Books of Blood aren't for everyone. My personal favorites from Barker are Weaveworld, The Great and Secret Show & Everville, and The Thief of Always.
I've heard recently that Weaveworld was/is being made into a graphic novel, which would be made of so much awesome that I think my head might explode.

Perkins- No
Freddie Mercury was bi but was more into men. Yeah, I was clueless about ol' Barker. I mean, I don't know how I missed it after these years. It doesn't matter except that he's extremely talented and damn sexy. Were I a man, I'd be set...of course, I'd have to be totally intriguing, sexy and inspiring, but I think I could handle that.;)

What is Imajica about, and what is the writing like? Strong imagery?
After I finish Glamorama, and if I enjoy it of course, I think I'll be picking up a few more Bret Easton Ellis novels. American Psycho, Rules of Attraction and Less Than Zero are at the store now, in good condition. I'll have to order Lunar Park if I want to read that one... unless they get a new order. Should I technically read these in a specific order? Characters cross over. I also want to pick up I Am Legend, but am having trouble finding it. I'm sure my bookstore will pimp in a huge stock once the movie is near release, though. Or I would at least hope so, unless the movie is a flop and no one wants to see it. Which I can see considering Will Smith WTF? Are there any other authors/books anyone can suggest me? Some really dark, and eerie stories? I'm a fan of twists and drama. I also like psychological novels, something Bret seems to promise. I'm more into real crime, well... things that can happen or are at least explained in a plausible way. Not too big on vampires and werevolves, or monsters in general.

Capote? Never really gave that a thought. Hm.
On another note, anyone knows some good short story anthologies? Horror, mystery or thriller preferably. Also is there any real adult-based Grimm Tales? All the ones I could find were for kids, but I know a reall dark version appears out there somewhere.
