I'm currently writing a very overdue review. Each story is very different from the rest, and all are gripping.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-88657702601538733732011-12-30T17:13:59.755-05:002011-12-30T17:13:59.755-05:00Hi Kristina,

Now, too, I am reading a bit more here and there of horror (not back into the movies, though), so I will definitely have to check out these tales you mention. Thank you for keeping horror alive - whether you wish to or not. :DAyla Rusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822310915656190053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-25906875546761532142011-12-30T17:10:05.887-05:002011-12-30T17:10:05.887-05:00I;m curious about "Trill" to see what ma...I;m curious about "Trill" to see what makes it so powerful to you. I was intrigued by what you said in the beginning about Pet Sematary and any horror involving children , because you;re a devoted mother. It goes back to what I was saying in my post that people have personal triggers and general triggers, when it comes to physical story telling such as horror or erotica. A general trigger like a spooky old ghost story might not scare you, but King's story of a nice little boy coming back as a murderous monster is almost impossible for you to read. That's what I was getting at in my post. Vampires are sort of scary generally the way that Taco Bell burritos are sort of spicy generally. But a story about a little kid going bad for you, or parents going bad for little kid me is like Thailand soup with those little red peppers. They're past any normal dimension of being spicy - they hurt.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-44773667047868891882011-12-30T08:33:37.745-05:002011-12-30T08:33:37.745-05:00Hi, Kristina,
