by: Peter Straub Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I have read every book ever written by Stephen King and every book by Peter Straub (even his out of print books which were very hard to come by) . And yet, I find this to be the best book I have ever read. EVER! The plot is marvelous and the writing is exquisite. I STRONGLY DISSAGREE with all the people who found the ending to be abrupt and bad. The ending showed more feeling and emotion. It is not long and drawn out like some books, and it is not really big. It is only very simple and shows how ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

by: Stephen King List Price: $28.00 Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 You Save: $21.01 (75%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I am a BIG SK fan, I've been reading his books since high-school and I have really praised him when they were great (The Stand, IT) and I've really panned him when they were downright dumb and ununderstandable ( The Tommyknockers). Lately I have had my doubts about my good friend but this book does bring him back to the King of old, and that makes me very happy. The characters are great, the story is fun and exciting and as always with SK the monsters are of the alien AND human kind. I didn't give ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 343. Gates of Paradise (Casteel) | |

by: V.C. Andrews Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is more like 3 1/2. I would have liked it more if Annie did not whine all the damned time! She was nothing like Heaven! She was virtually spineless!All Annie did was complain and complain. When Heaven hit hard times, she straightened her back and dealt with it. It just seemed with age, Tony became more and more demented. This is not the man who helped toughen Heaven into an even stronger young woman. Unfortunately, Tony is a sick, weak, broken man who is caught up in the image of Leigh, Jillian, ...

| 344. Shadowland | |

by: Peter Straub Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Peter Straub's Shadowland is one of the pinnacles of the horror/ fantasy genre, a symbolic, unsettling, expertly-written journey into the country of magic, a coming-of-age story that surprises, enlightens, and terrifies -- sometimes all at once. It follows the journey of two boys, Tom Flanagan and Del Nightingale, first in their experiences at school, discovering that magic is far more than the art of illusion...and then their travails at the house of Del's uncle, the legendary (and dangerous) Coleman Collins, ...

| 345. The Barking Ghost (Goosebumps Series) | |
|
by: R. L. Stine Amazon.com's Price: $4.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The first time I read this book I loved it. I was about 11 or 12 years old and the subject matter was frightful. I read it again because I had liked it the first time and needed a quick read. This book, especially for older teenagers, is a good quick read. I still liked the plot of the ghost dogs frightening the main character Cooper and his friend Fergie. Eventually leading them to an old shack and switching places with them. And the sibling rivalry between Cooper and Mickey is funny and relative to most teenage siblings. ...

| 348. Preacher: All Hell's A-Coming (Dc Comics Vertigo, Book 8) | |
|
by: Garth Ennis List Price: $17.95 Amazon.com's Price: $12.57 You Save: $5.38 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is the next-to-the-last (the penultimate, if you will) in the series of collected Preacher graphic novels, and it's a good one. It's probably not as good as Salvation, but still it's one of my favorites. This is the last bit of breathing space we're allowed in the series before the plot takes over and bulldozes us towards the conclusion in book nine. Here there's still some room to move sideways as well as forward. The books starts with some backstory on Tulip. We visit her childhood and find out why she's who ...

| 349. Dolores Claiborne | |
|
by: Stephen King Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I first read this book as a teenager, in 1992. Even though I have not lifted a page of it since, something about it stuck in my mind. Dealing with real horrors, such as spousal abuse and incest is a departure for King; even though his previous novels have explored the human side of horror, this short novel devotes itself almost entirely to it. Written in the first person, Dolores Claiborne tends to drag, as all King books do, and there's not much in the way of narrative. There aren't too may plot-twists here. The beauty of the book is in it's ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: David Gemmell Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description David Gemmell is a genius. This book was absolutely brilliant. The words and emotions flowed from word to word, page to page, chapter to chapter. I could not put it down until it was finished. I don't know what gift this man has, but it's a rare gift to capture a reader's attention and don't lose it even after the last word has been read over 2 hours later. Hero in the Shadow was one of the best fantasy i've read in quite a while. Yes, it was about good vs. evil but it was more than that. It was about the struggle of man versus evil within and without ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
