Thanks for those comments, Alan. I'm intrigued by the Broxon book. Here's a list of all the horror fiction I read in 2004 -- I liked all of these except The Straw Men.
Therese Raquin - Emile Zola -- murder, guilt, and ghosts, and a particularly frightening mother-in-law :) The Innamorati and The Flight of Michael McBride - Midori Snyder -- Snyder seemed as comfortable in Renaissance Italy as in the Old West of the United States -- the "bad guy" in McBride was particularly horrific The Straw Men by Michael Marshall -- disappointed in this one, don't even remember what it was about Dust by Arthur Slade - YA -- imaginative young boy living on the Canadian prairie during the Depression -- when a stranger comes to town promising to make it rain, children start to disappear -- Slade used his hero's imagination to tell this story, and I thought it was really effective Darker Than You Think by Jack Williamson -- descriptions of clothes and how much things cost dated the book, but this is the best story I've read about the allure of evil lost boy lost girl by Peter Straub -- scary, romantic, and mysterious Stephen King: The Gunslinger (re-read), Wolves of the Calla, Song of Susannah -- will this story never end? :) Ilium by Dan Simmons -- not really horror, but the Caliban things were scary as hell -- I was pretty confused at the start but then things fell together for me, I can hardly wait for Olympos Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child -- The Cabinet of Curiosities and Still Life With Crows -- maybe there's a bit of a formula going on with the Pendergast books, but they're very entertaining Sabriel by Garth Nix -- probably more fantasy than horror -- I like it when the evil is powerful, not easily conquered ------------------------ Yahoo!
