And it's not really a horror, it's more like...science/fantasy/horror. http://books.google.com/books?id=6VgKAAAACAAJ&dq=inauthor:CS+inauthor:Friedman There was a part about a guy who walked in on his mother doing drugs and having little demon things eating her brain while she was still alive that totally freaked me out. And 1408, the novel, absolutely terrified me. Don't ask me why, it just did. And then, when I heard him read it, it scared me even more! I’ve actually never really been scared by any books I’ve read, except for two.

And it’s not really a horror, it’s more like…science/fantasy/horror.

EVER. Infact, in my long experience with horror fiction, only King's 'SALEM'S LOT & the under-rated, sadly NON-prolific T.E.D. Klein's THE CEREMONIES equal it. And of those three all time favs of mine, Simmon's epic is, by far, the scariest of the three. It has my personal vote as the scariest book of all time, hands down. If SUMMER OF NIGHT fails to illicite chills from you, then I figure you're simply impossible to get a scare out of with the printed word. Which, if that's the case, why are you even on this site?!!

I wrote a biographical article about him ten years while I was working for a reference book company, and that got me interested in him. I've read his sci-fi novels Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion, and both were excellent. As for horror, you can't go wrong with Carrion Comfort, which won the Bram Stoker Award.

That'd be a great movie, wouldnt it? End it in rehab with the guy dying of an overdose. OH NOBODY WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING, stupid psychological thrillers. I don’t know.

End it in rehab with the guy dying of an overdose.

OH NOBODY WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING, stupid psychological thrillers.

SUMMER OF NIGHT was merely a cold-turkey withdrawal fever dream I had. Figured I should tell you guys about it. Brian, a book is something to hide heroin needles inside.
