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 955 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 509 Views

Shockingly, Paul, I agree with all of your answers. Rebekah - 01/01/2011 04:52:57 PM 968 Views
Oh no! Whatever has happened to you, Rebekah? Legolas - 01/01/2011 06:22:42 PM 983 Views
Sounds good. j-whitt987 - 01/01/2011 05:14:26 PM 1187 Views

I have my own challenge. Tom - 01/01/2011 06:39:08 PM 969 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 922 Views
I think that the tone was supposed to be detached. Tom - 02/01/2011 03:50:10 AM 1068 Views
Sweet. I'll knock out the family chronicle in a foreign language this month. Ghavrel - 01/01/2011 07:41:37 PM 928 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 475 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 464 Views
Question on Genre Challenge aria - 03/01/2011 03:31:28 AM 1145 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 995 Views

I don't think that really falls into any of our categories... Legolas - 05/01/2011 06:36:39 PM 960 Views
