From time to time, you do get your hands on a horror that is not quite a horror, but more like a thriller. Fammiliar, "Ring"? I'm sure many of us have seen the movies for this book. I've seen them. I was twelve. I haven't got over it. It basically changed my imagery on monsters. Before the movie, I ...
