Re: The Shining
One of my favorite horror books of all time! The first time I read it, I had to stay up 'til dawn, because I was afraid that if I put it down, __(spoiler)___ would die! It was so scary, I really didn't dare to stop reading until I knew everyone was safe. 'course, being an SK book...!

Anyway, I gotta run, but I'll be back to talk about this one some more cuz it's really one of my faves.

The movie versions...eh. :)

*Note* As of April 17, '08, a new genre has been added to WDC: Dark. A huge thank you goes out to all who helped to champion this cause!
Hooray for The Dark Side!

There are many items on this site that are "dark" that do not really fit into the genres of Horror/Scary, Thriller, Gothic, or even Psychological (which can be construed as non-fiction).
         Some dark writers write to explore their own dark side, while some write about the people who go bump in the night.
         Do you think this genre should be added? This would be a catch-all genre for "dark" items that do not fit into any of the genres already offered.
