          One of the scariest books I've ever read

          Seriously, I'm going to be sleeping with the lights on and compulsively checking behind the shower curtain for a few days. :) I don't usually gravitate toward anthologies, but there was something about the cover of this one that screamed to me. (Remember how you used to love looking at the illustrations in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark? It's like that.) There are so many darkly beautiful stories in this book; I can't even pick a favorite. Oh fine, I do have a few favorites, but you'll have to read it for yourself and pick your own. Highly recommended (if you enjoy being terrified)!!!
