Have you read any Kelly Link? Legolas Send a noteboard - 03/01/2011 06:27:02 PM
- Horror

I am still wondering how to find a horror book that does not actually scare me silly. I noticed the Parasol Protectorate was placed under horror in Blackwells...

She writes these great surrealistic stories that are disconcerting and sometimes scary (though not the "I don't dare to turn out the lights anymore" kind of scary), but it's generally rather hard to tell what the scary thing even is.

Or Lovecraft, do you like him? Or Poe. Poe is awesome.

We have two of her collections, yes. Rebekah - 03/01/2011 11:28:27 PM 1109 Views
Both of those are available online (legally and free) as well (if anyone else wants to read them). *NM* Legolas - 04/01/2011 10:07:58 PM 592 Views

A few answers. Legolas - 01/01/2011 04:31:24 PM 1307 Views
Shockingly, Paul, I agree with all of your answers. Rebekah - 01/01/2011 04:52:57 PM 1158 Views
Oh no! Whatever has happened to you, Rebekah? Legolas - 01/01/2011 06:22:42 PM 1145 Views
Sounds good. j-whitt987 - 01/01/2011 05:14:26 PM 1388 Views

I have my own challenge. Tom - 01/01/2011 06:39:08 PM 1139 Views
I found L'Étranger quite dull, but my French was very poor when I read it. Ghavrel - 01/01/2011 07:45:27 PM 1090 Views
I think that the tone was supposed to be detached. Tom - 02/01/2011 03:50:10 AM 1239 Views
Sweet. I'll knock out the family chronicle in a foreign language this month. Ghavrel - 01/01/2011 07:41:37 PM 1103 Views

That's a fun book. And yeah, that's kind of the idea, that people will inspire each other. *NM* Legolas - 03/01/2011 05:57:43 PM 555 Views
I'm doing that too. Got it on my kindle and am 20% done now. *NM* Fox and Ravens - 03/01/2011 09:28:28 PM 582 Views
Question on Genre Challenge aria - 03/01/2011 03:31:28 AM 1327 Views
We tried to get some less-mentioned genres, so makes sense, but you can interpret them widely. Legolas - 03/01/2011 06:23:43 PM 1240 Views
