Re: Have you read any Kelly Link? Camilla Send a noteboard - 03/01/2011 07:36:28 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.


Hehe. For some reason my brain has trouble linking authors I have already read to genres. It never occurred to me to read Lovecraft or Poe. It is a good idea. I have yet to read Kelly Link, but I believe Rebekah has some of her stuff on her "Camilla should read this" list.

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 697 Views

Shockingly, Paul, I agree with all of your answers. Rebekah - 01/01/2011 04:52:57 PM 1335 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 1234 Views
I think that the tone was supposed to be detached. Tom - 02/01/2011 03:50:10 AM 1390 Views
Sweet. I'll knock out the family chronicle in a foreign language this month. Ghavrel - 01/01/2011 07:41:37 PM 1264 Views

Question on Genre Challenge aria - 03/01/2011 03:31:28 AM 1506 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 1422 Views
