Stephen King

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

First of all, just because an author is popular or 'commercialized' doesn' make him a bad writter. What the hell is it with people thinking it's 'cool' to like something just because no one else does?

Now for Mr. King: he is the best horror writter of all time. Like most here, The Stand is my favorite. I love the post apocalyptic, good vs evil thing.

People don't give Salem's Lot enough credit. I thought it was a very good vampire book. I remember being scared for weeks to look out my window for fear that some kid would be floating there begging me to let him in.

The Dead Zone. What a great idea for a book. Not really scary but a great book.

The scariest book, for me, was The Shining.
