I am not a blood and guts fan either, but I love a good ghost or supernatural or psychological story -- some of them have kept me up all night too!<br /><br />We had a couple of "incidents" here at That Old House the first year we live here -- some sightings. So our Pastor did a House Blessing ... no more things that go bump in the night. At least, no more supernatural things!<br /><br />For 2 years in the 1930s, our house was a funeral parlor. Research can be spooky, too!<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-48487071904945977422010-10-19T09:33:18.640-04:002010-10-19T09:33:18.640-04:00I'm going to have to get the Heart Shaped Box....I'm going to have to get the Heart Shaped Box.

Scared the ***...Ruth Rendell's The Bridesmaid. Scared the **** out of me.<br /><br />The novel's protagonist is Philip Wardman, a relatively normal young man (unusually so for traditional Rendell protagonists), whose only particularly strong feeling is that he hates violence. Philip lives at home with his mother and sister, and his feminine ideal is exemplified by a beautiful statue of Flora, a nymph, in their garden. One day Philip's sister marries, and Philip meets eccentric Senta Pelham, one of her bridesmaids who looks alarmingly like the statue of Flora. The two begin a passionate affair, but Philip's world comes crashing down around him when Senta sets a test: she begs Philip that, to prove their love, they must each kill someone.<br /><br />Don't need the dead and ghosts to scare me Olive...the living do it well enough!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-59908845637363467152010-10-18T17:42:54.997-04:002010-10-18T17:42:54.997-04:00Your own Edgar Allen Poe wrote a few good 'uns...Your own Edgar Allen Poe wrote a few good 'uns, Olive.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-15514735743124965742010-10-18T17:21:43.921-04:002010-10-18T17:21:43.921-04:00Olive, thanks for two really great recommendations...Olive, thanks for two really great recommendations. I have to agree with the above commenter. I was into Stephen King in high school and The Shining and Salem's Lot were two that scared me silly. Couldn't look out the windows at night. For non-fiction scary, Helter Skelter. Couldn't finish it.
